In today’s difficult recession economy, firms are eager to increase sales and market share, move idle inventory, and keep a positive cash flow to motivate and retain key employees. Wise companies are gaining a distinct competitive edge by using trade. TIE members are perceiving the additional benefits provided by us,scoring big during this recession. 

Acting as a firm's sales force, we find buyers and sellers, help arrange deals using trade dollars instead of valuable cash, and make sure the transactions go smoothly. We certainly have rewritten some of the bartering rules. Now the business owners are the ones to come out the really big winners. But we are not stopping there, we are now working to use barter in Mezzanine Financing, selling a business quicker, using Barter to supplement retirement accounts, and as an investment vehicle when purchasing real estate. 

It is a new world, with new challenges and opportunity and at TIE we are helping shape it.
