ARTICLE FROM FORBES - Social Entrepreneurship

More and more, entrepreneurs are not satisfied with creating a business that delivers a great product, generates a profit and creates value (read wealth), but instead want their enterprise to directly impact a social problem from poverty to global warming.

Publishing Is Broken, We're Drowning In Indie Books - And That's A Good Thing David Vinjamuri Contributor

Some social entrepreneurs are running for-profit businesses with a clear and specific social mission integrated into the business model while others are launching traditional not-for-profit businesses.
Blake Mycoskie, founder and “Chief Shoe Giver” at Toms epitomizes the movement, launching his “buy one, give one” shoe company in 2006 and quickly growing it to a $100 million annual run rate—and donating over 1 million pairs of shoes along the way.
In either case, planning for success mimics the requirements for success in any new venture: a plan, customer focus, and execution.
The Plan
The greatest fallacy in business planning is that there is a good template or software that will help you create a winning business plan.  The very opposite is true.  While there are some standard topics that must be covered in a business plan, borrowing language from a template or software is simply self-defeating.

The primary purpose for a business plan is not so that an entrepreneur can tell someone else about the plan to raise money, find customers or recruit talent it is so that the entrepreneur can figure out what the heck she’s doing.  The greatest insight I ever found in business plan writing is that if you can’t write down how you’ll do something you really don’t know how you’ll do it.  Therein lies the real value of the business plan: it is the exercise an entrepreneur completes with her team to help figure out exactly what to do.
A great business plan doesn’t have to be long; in fact, the shorter the better.  It just needs to be complete.  I’ve seen a one-page plan that was more complete than fifty-page plans.  The plan needs to articulate the problem the business proposes to solve, a vision for how that will be accomplished, and what uniquely qualifies the enterprise to do that.  The plan should also include an introduction to the management team, a marketing plan, a product development schedule, and financial forecasts, including cash requirements.   Good business plan outlines are plentiful on the web.
Customer Focus





Customer Focus

Mark Rippel is a volunteer of UBELONG in Cambodia. A true social entrepreneur.

For a traditional business, customer focus is relatively straightforward.  The customer is the person who trades her money for the product you sell.  For a social venture, there could easily be three customers: 1)  a donor or sponsor who derives little or no personal benefit from the exchange, motivated by altruism, 2) a traditional customer who buys a product or service from the business, and 3) a beneficiary of the organization’s mission.   All three customer types require focus and attention.

EXPLODING BUSINESS OF BARTER

 (excerpt from the Harvard Business Review)

Business bartering has been around for a while (Pepsi conquered the USSR by exchanging the soft drink for vodka in 1990), but the pace is rapidly increasing. In 2010, for example, the North Carolina Bar Association approved the participation of attorneys in organized barter exchanges allowing them, for example, to swap legal services for credits to "spend" on a vast range of services from computing to web design, auto repairs and advertising. Now, at barter exchanges across the world, professionals from doctors to electricians are trading their services for goods, services or "trade credits" which can then be used to pay for business expenses whether printing, advertising or travel. Meanwhile, corporate barter firms, the intermediaries in barter transactions, have flourished, helping companies to create value from assets which may no longer fit their strategy, may not be working at capacity or are no longer needed. Client firms swap what they don't want or need for something they do — frequently media services. In addition to swapping goods and services for media, companies can use the trade credits they receive from the bartering intermediary to exchange for freight, travel, waste management and equipment. Honda, Kia and Subaru have bartered cars for media trade credits. Haymarket Exhibitions made part payment for advertising using tickets to their exhibitions. Leading electronics firms have bartered discontinued stock, placing it in leading hotels in exchange for media and trade credits — gaining a potential new client in the hotel group in the process. Food manufacturers have bartered excess inventory in exchange for media credits or trade certificates allowing them to purchase other services such as hospitality and cleaning. Lufthansa has bartered real estate for media credits and aviation fuel.

BIGGEST TRADE

 Biggest Trade:  Pepsico to Swap Cola for Soviet Vodka and Ships



1990 - MOSCOW — Swapping soft-drink concentrate for vodka and merchant ships, Pepsico Inc. on Monday signed a $3-billion barter trade pact with the Soviets that it called the biggest, longest-running agreement ever concluded by the Kremlin with a U.S. firm. "President Bush and President Gorbachev should during their meetings have Pepsi and Stolichnaya on the table to remind them what good agreements are," said Pepsico Executive Committee Chairman Donald M. Kendall, whose experience in U.S.-Soviet trade goes back to the era of Nikita S. Khrushchev.

In 1974, Pepsico began shipping Pepsi concentrate in exchange for Stolichnaya Russian vodka to be sold on the U.S. market. That reciprocal trade pact has now been broadened and extended until the year 2000 to cover an estimated $3 billion in retail sales of Pepsi in the Soviet Union and Stolichnaya vodka in the United States in the coming decade.
Pepsico said the agreement would more than double its Soviet soft drink sales, now running more than 1 billion servings annually, and extend for another 10 years its exclusive rights to provide Russian vodka for the U.S. market. It now imports and sells 1 million cases of Russian vodka yearly through Monsieur Henri Wines Ltd. of White Plains, N.Y.

The accord's fine print shows the flexibility needed to do business in the \o7 perestroika\f7 -era Soviet Union. Kendall, who appeared at a news conference after the signing ceremony in the Kremlin, said Pepsi is now committed to buying at least 10 Soviet-built freighters and tankers of 25,000 to 65,000 tons, which will then be leased on the world market through a Norwegian partner.
"We think we will have the same success in marketing Soviet ships as we have in marketing Soviet vodka," Kendall said.
On news of the agreement, Pepsico closed up $1.50 at $66.50 on the New York Stock Exchange.
Swapping ships for cola concentrate is necessary because the Soviet currency, the ruble, is not freely convertible on the world market for dollars or other currencies, so profits from the Soviet Union cannot be exported in cash.

Kendall said he doubts that convertibility will come any time soon but that non-convertibility should be no barrier to superpower trade.
"If you wait for a convertible ruble, by the time we have a convertible ruble somebody else will have the market," he said.

Thanks to Kendall's promotional acumen, a cupful of Pepsi was given to Khrushchev at a U.S. exposition in Moscow in 1959, with Vice President Richard M. Nixon also getting a serving as news photographers snapped away. Since 1974, the Pepsi logo has become a well-known feature of the Soviet urban landscape.
In contrast, Coca-Cola, Pepsi's chief competitor, began doing business with the Soviets only in 1980 and is less well known.

Proceeds from leasing the ships will be used to buy equipment and supplies for two Pizza Hut restaurants now scheduled to open in Moscow this year. Pepsico had announced that its restaurant subsidiary would be the first Western fast-food outlet in Moscow, but it was beaten to the punch in January by McDonald's.
The number of Pepsi bottling plants will be increased from 24 to 50 in cities from Vladivostok in the Soviet Far East to Riga on the Baltic Sea. The agreement also calls for the development of plastic bottles and cans for the sale of soft drinks in the Soviet Union, where Pepsi is now available only in bottles.

BARTERING BUSINESS

EXAMPLE OF TRADE AT WORK WITH A DENTIST

HOW A DENTIST CAN USE TRADE:

Dentistry has a long history of bartering for their services. It’s a competitive, expensive business and we all need dental care at one point or another. The great thing about barter is that it enables dentists to save a lot of cash and wins new clients at the same time. And the patient, of course, can avoid some hefty cash payments when they need to spend sometime “in the chair.”

For instance, if an electrician needs a dentist for his kids, he can pay cash to his regular dentist—a big budget bite for a family with a sweet tooth. The dentist wants to add an exam room and may find someone to do the job on Craig’s List. Both are taking a bite out of their bank balances.

If the dentist had tried to trade with another electrician, it wouldn’t have gone over well (few people want to trade cash business for goods; who can blame them?)

But the electrician had a valuable service so TIE introduced him to a dentist who was happy to trade for services instead of cash. The electrician now has kids with healthy teeth, the dentist has his new exam room wired for all of the latest equipment and, even better, the electrician has sent the dentist three new referrals for new business!

TRADE * BUY * SELL

How to Close a Sale - By: Elaine J. Hom, Business News Daily Contributor

Closing the sale is what makes your business profitable. All sales pitches, relationship development, and negotiations lead up to this moment. While there is no easy formula to close a sale, there are a number of sales-closing techniques that can help get your potential customer to the right mindset. It's key to take the lead during the sales discussion with potential customers. Your prospect will not be the one who does it for you, so seize control of the situation and prepare to make a deal.  When making a deal, follow the four D's, as laid out by Jeff Thull, president and CEO of Prime Resource Group:

 

Discovery: Prospect your customers. Find out what you can do for them and make sure that they are a good fit for your product or services. This is your chance to prove to your potential customers that you can provide what they need, especially if you are offering highly specialized products or services. When preparing to make your pitch, think about the person you're presenting to and their role. What are their wants? What do they want to avoid? Be the best listener possible in this stage.

Diagnosis: This is the stage where you analyze where your product or service fits into your customer's daily life. How can your product address inefficiencies in what they have or are doing now? Convince your potential customers that they have a problem your product or service can solve in a solid presentation. It's a good idea to ask what they liked best about the presentation – these "hot points" will help you in the next stage.

Design: In the design stage of the sales process, you should help your potential customers develop a clear idea of the outcome and their expectations. Find out the best way to reach their desired outcome, what the customer is willing to invest, and provide your own brand of assurances and guarantees that this will work for them.

Delivery: Put together a formal presentation to show the customer the product or service as developed in the design stage. Make sure that your customer is fully satisfied with the finished product, and find out if they are ready to get started today. If so, you can proceed with the final paperwork and close the sale. Try to move as quickly as possible after the "yes" to get the paperwork done, because it otherwise gives your customer time to back out. Create a sense of urgency by offering a discount if they sign immediately.

Sometimes, a sale just isn't closable. Don't beat yourself up if you don't close, because the timing may not be right or there may not be a fit. You should fight hard to land each deal, but don't be defeated if you don't. Every sales process is a learning experience, so you can apply what you learned from that process to the next client.
If you do close the sale, congratulations! It is always a good idea to follow up with your customer after closing the sale. You can learn quite a bit from them by getting feedback on both your product and your sales process. With their feedback, you can shape your pitch and presentation for your next potential customer.

CIRCLE OF TRADE

THINK TRADE FIRST

Think Trade First
In the normal, every-day world we are always thinking about how we can increase sales and save cash. Selling your products and/or services in return for trade dollars is relatively easy and you can find a client willing to pay in trade dollars faster than a client willing to pay you in CASH. 

 Now you need to expend the same kind of time and energy on how to use your dollars. You must think about spending trade dollars before spending cash. You must think trade first all the time.

Contact Trade International Exchange and we will show you how to use your TIE Dollars to get what you want or need.  (305) 261-8439 (TIEX.) 

EXAMPLE OF DIRECT TRADE

Let’s say you are a florist and you need a DJ for one of your kid’s birthday parties. You find a DJ who is willing to do direct trade and will take $1000 worth of flowers for them DJ’ing your kids party. This type of trade requires you ask people who sometimes, well, don’t think outside of the box. They are used to cash/ immediate payoff in traditional monetary measurements. When you use this type of trade, you are availing yourself to basically getting the stuff you want at your rate of wholesale. If you have a 50% margin in your product/service and you barter away dollar for dollar your product/service towards something you want, the cost involved is what your cost is –your margin- and you are able to get stuff at a substantial discount.

WHY TRADE?

Trade is an excellent way to get the new clients you need to grow your business. Trade can help you utilize your products and services more accurately. Trade allows you to purchase some of the products and services you need for your business without spending the cash out of pocket.

In our economy, Trade (barter) is thriving as a form of commerce. According to recent trade reports there are over 250,000 companies in the United States trading seven billion dollars in goods and services through barter exchanges.

LEAD GENERATION

Is It Really Possible to Achieve Productive Lead Generation?

Sales Management

By Matt Ford, Published January 10, 2013

Many businesses enact their own lead generation campaigns. Many of these businesses also wonder if is it really possible to achieve a productive campaign. Sometimes, however, people confuse what “productivity” means. Does your lead generation produce leads? If yes, that’s a good thing, but does your campaign produce leads that actually make you money? If no, then productivity is obviously low.
In business, numbers mean something – both big and small figures may mean something good or bad for your company. Numbers actually help you find out whether your lead generation campaign is productive or not. How? Well, just take a look at how many leads you are generating in a month as well as the money you make. After all, you made an investment into your campaign. The question now is that if you are generating a good amount of leads and are getting a positive ROI.
It is quite possible to achieve a productive B2B lead generation campaign. However, we must first define what “productive” means for your company. After all, we all have our own goals for our business, identifying what those goals are will help us gauge the productivity level of our campaign.
Here are some things to consider in achieving productivity:

Consider the efficiency of your campaign.

When we speak of efficiency in your campaign, we should first consider the costs involved. Are you doing things at the lowest possible cost, or are you throwing your money around when it comes to acquiring more business to business leads?
The amount of money you spend and the amount of money you make should tell you about how effective your campaign is. If you allot a small budget for your lead generation campaign and generate only a small number of leads, that may not be something you would call productive. However, even with a small number of leads, you can still consider your campaign productive if those leads convert into sales.
The same goes if you are spending a lot of money in doing lead generation. More leads would mean nothing if your leads did not convert into sales and thus get you a positive ROI for your investment. A productive lead generation campaign should be about a getting leads that convert into sales and should not be focused merely on just getting more leads.

Consider the effectiveness of your campaign.

Productivity and effectiveness are closely knit; an effective campaign is a productive one. The effectiveness of your campaign, however, should be assessed by whether or not it helps you achieve your goals.
What is your goal in enacting your campaign? Is it too generate more leads or to increase sales? If in the end your campaign meets these goals then you can safely say that your efforts paid off and that your campaign is an effective one.
As you can see, achieving a productive lead generation campaign is quite doable, however, you first need to define what “productive” means for your company. Does it mean more leads but no profit; does it mean less leads but large profits; does it mean more leads and more profits?
So do you think that it is possible to have a productive campaign?

5 TIPS TO ENHANCE YOUR BARTERING EXPERIENCE

1. Make sure that the barter is necessary.

 2. Set a dollar value.

 3. Use receipts.

 4. Set a time frame.

 5. Record transactions as debits and credits.

THE ART OF BARTER

The art and practice of bartering has been around for centuries. With bartering, the idea is to trade goods and services that you need instead of spending cash. For example, say your lawn mower’s broken and your lawn is quickly approaching “African grasslands status”. Instead of paying for costly repairs (or worse – buying a new mower!), your handyman neighbor fixes it in exchange for a few hours of babysitting.

SAVE CASH!

(ref. happymoneysaver.com)

USE WHAT YOU KNOW

• Are you a fantastic cook, sought-after hair stylist or expert in all things math?
• Do you know how to train an unruly puppy in 2 weeks or less?
• Are you the best babysitter on the block?
• What about auto, appliance, or computer repair?
• Do you know how to build websites?
• Housecleaning, ironing, landscaping or gardening?
• Can you speak a foreign language? Paint a house? All of these tasks (and whatever else you can think of) are perfect for bartering!

TRADE GOODS & SERVICES

Trade goods and services with another entrepreneur and save on some of the things you need to run your business.  Are you an accountant who needs brochures designed?  Maybe you can offer to do a graphic designer’s taxes this year in exchange for a brochure design.
Aggressive expense cutters should consider barter because it can “reduce cash output and, if done in an equitable manner, improve community business relationships,” notes Leif Smith, president of Personal Best Consulting, based in Hilliard, Ohio.

TRADE - GOOD OPTION

In today’s economy, trade seems to be a great option for small business people who prefer to trade their time or offer their products instead of open their pocketbooks to get their needs met either personally or professionally.

 A good example would be a chiropractor adjusting the vertebrae of a web designer, a social media expert and a content provider on an ongoing basis to handle all of his or her online marketing efforts, freeing up time to do what he or she does best while not putting out precious cash to receive these services. Trading can provide good business networking and a good way to establish new relationships as well as conserve cash, while getting what you want or need.

BENEFITS OF TRADE

There are a multitude of benefits for trade including: conserving valuable cash flow; increasing exposure in the community or around the globe; expanding purchasing power; and assisting in moving slow or overstocked inventory.

NATE CONVENTION

BARTERING/TRADE PRODUCES NEW BUSINESS

Member businesses agree to take payment in “trade dollars” instead of cash. Using trade dollars earned, a company can purchase goods or services that they need, without the cash on hand. While there are no tax advantages or disadvantages to bartering, barter income is treated the same as cash income.

Bartering produces new business, allowing companies to expand their markets and maintain their cash-paying customer base at the same time - all while getting valuable and sometimes costly repairs or services conducted by professionals.

FACT: A Multi-Billion Dollar Industry

According to the International Reciprocal Trade Association (IRTA) estimates just in the U.S., over 470,000 companies actively participate in barter (trade) for a total of over $12 billion in annual sales. Over 65% of the corporations listed in the New York Stock Exchange are presently using Barter to reduce surplus inventory and bolster sales and to ensure that production facilities run at near capacity.

The U.S. Department of Commerce estimates that 20 to 25% of world trade is now barter, and corporate barter is now a 20 billion dollar industry. Barter continues to carve out an important place in the U.S. and world economy.

WHAT IS TRADE?

Trade is a powerful tool that represents a solution for companies with available inventory or services. By accepting payment in trade dollars instead of cash, a business maximizes their efficiency by increasing inventory turnover or billable hours. Using the trade dollars earned, that company can purchase goods or services they want – without paying cash.

Trade International Exchange (TIE) works with you to bring your company new sales and increased market share, to move available inventory and to minimize cash outlay for everyday business expenses. Members of an exchange like TIE use trade dollars, instead of cash, to handle their transactions. TIE provides you with an alternate distribution network. You can charge retail value for goods and services in trade dollars, instead of selling them for reduced rates in cash or having them go unsold.  TIE acts as a third-party record keeper, providing clients with monthly statements that reflect all trade purchases and sales and show the current trade-dollar balance.

HOW BARTER WORKS

TIE TIP

TIE & TRADE DIRECTORS

To gain access to a larger pool of partners, you can join a membership trading company like TRADE INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGE (TIE.) The way it works is that you get a specific number of credits (TIE Dollars) for the services or goods you want to trade that you can then use to retrieve what you want. You’ll pay a membership fee and a percent of each sale (trade.) Many exchanges allow members to do business over the Internet, although transactions tend to be conducted over the phone or email. Note, TIE has Trade Directors who help conduct transactions, offer advice, suggest barter partners, and talk you up to other members.  Trade Directors are your sales force, PR team and personal concierge - all in one!

BARTERING

Bartering is on an upswing these days, thanks to the economic downturn.
For cash-strapped businesses, it’s an effective way to obtain goods and services without spending actual money. Bartering allows you to get rid of unused inventory by swapping it for items you do need.  And the Internet has made swapping goods and services easier than ever.

“Bartering is an efficient tool which helps you find more of the things you need to run your business,” says Karen Hoffman, a marketing consultant in St. Louis and co-author of The Art of Barter: How to Trade for Almost Anything (Skyhorse publishing, 2010).

ART OF TRADING FOR BUSINESSES

Today, Trade Directors are taking the ancient art of bartering to a new level that’s capitalizing on a tight credit market and turning excess inventory or underutilized time into income. It can also be a way to build brand awareness and business connections.
 

Small companies can do informal bartering on their own—trading menu-printing services for free Chinese take-out, for instance. But trade directors make the process easier and potentially more profitable.

Plumbers, lawyers, accountants, bakers, restaurant owners, landscapers and many other businesses register with an exchange such as Trade International Exchange (TIE) and agree to accept TIE dollars. Payment goes into their TIE account, and the businesses can use that currency to pay for other goods and services within the network.

As with any bank account, business owners can log in, check their balance and save their funds. Then they can check the directory of thousands of other businesses when they’re ready to spend it.

“If you’re paying cash for services—like printing, landscaping, payroll services—we can convert that to trade,” says Nicole Graham, Senior Trade Director of TIE, in the South Florida area.  “You’ll save your cash and and still get what you want or need.”

Trade is especially useful for small to medium-size businesses as a way to boost income and increase brand awareness.

INTERESTING INFO

"Although Americans who barter are still in the minority, Britt Beemer, chief executive of the survey firm America’s Research Group, said his polls had found that up to 26 percent of respondents said they were bartering products and skills, more than double the percentage in 2000, when the question was first posed. "

HISTORY OF BARTER

History of Barter System

It was one of the earliest forms of trading. It facilitated exchange of goods and services, as money was not invented in those times. The history of bartering can be traced back to 6000 BC. It is believed that barter system was introduced by the tribes of Mesopotamia. This system was then adopted by the Phoenicians, who bartered their goods to people in other cities located across the oceans. An improved system of bartering was developed in Babylonia too. People used to exchange their goods for weapons, tea, spices, and food items. Sometimes, even human skulls were used for barter. Another popular item used for exchange was salt. Salt was so valuable at that time, that the salary of Roman soldiers was paid in salt. The main drawback of this system was that there was no standard criteria to determine the value of goods and services, and this resulted in disputes and clashes. These problems were sorted out with the invention of money, but the barter system continued to exist in some form or another.


Barter services became popular during the Great Depression in the 1930s', which witnessed a scarcity of money. The barter system was used as a way of obtaining things like food and other services. The trading was done between people or through groups, who acted as agents and facilitated third party bartering. These groups were like banks, where people maintained their accounts. In case of sale of any of the items, the account of the owner would be credited and the account of the buyer would be debited...Barter system has been in use throughout the world for centuries. The invention of money did not result in the end of bartering services. Sometimes, monetary crises fueled the revival of this system and the current recession has once again set a stage for its comeback. Even though money is there for trading and for business, barter system still exists and has become more strong and organized.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

In a trade exchange network like TIE, everyone trades with everyone, even if they do not want to take back directly what the other person has to offer. Trade dollars (TIE DOLLARS) are credited to a trade account in the trade/barter exchange, which can then be spent on any item or service desired from within the network.

Most companies or businesses that join Trade International Exchange have excess products and services they want to sell.

Our professional team of trade directors will find clients that are TIE members that are interested in those services and products.

TIE has a multitude of members like Printers, Restaurants, Hotels, Car Rental Agencies, Advertising Media, Retail stores, Linen supply and Electrical and Plumbing Contractors, Lawyers, Doctors, Dentists, Attorneys, Bakers etc.

These members sell their products or services to other TIE members and receive 
TIE DOLLARS as payment.

TIE members use their TIE DOLLARS to purchase products and services from each other.

For example: If a shoe store wants to Trade a thousand pair of shoes in order to pay for an addition to his store, there is a good chance no one locally can use that many shoes however, every member has employee’s who have kids who use shoes so it doesn’t take long to sell the shoes to pay for the addition. Doctors use restaurants, take trips, play golf and use printers. Hotels use carpet cleaners, Plumbing contractors, advertising, linen supply and printers etc...

Another example: A restaurant owner might not be able to keep his restaurant full all the time, but by joining Trade International Exchange (TIE,) he/she can attract Trade International Exchange customers to the restaurant. In turn, they bring their "cash-paying" friends and business associates and spread the word on the restaurant. These are customers they otherwise may not have had, so everyone "wins."
