Improve Cash Flow Members finance purchases of goods and services out of additional sales of their own product, service, unwanted assets or excess capacity. BNI creates new revenue for its members without displacing their existing cash business base.		Attract, Keep, Reward Employees Use trade dollars as a bonus or to provide incentives, gifts, trips, health club membership, etc. BNI also offers a plan that allows you to provide medical benefits on trade. You can use barter dollars to pay for employee training, corporate parties, gatherings and much more.
	Generate New Sales One way to view BNI is as an independent, commissiononly, sales rep. Fielding hundreds of calls per day, BNI brokers search out and fulfill member purchase requests, generating incremental business over and above a company’s existing cash customer base.		Tap an Alternate Form of Financing BNI may extend credit to members in good standing that offer goods and services in demand by other BNI members. Barter loans can be used for any purpose. Another form of creative financing is using barter to pay debts or collect receivables.
	Recapture Lost Value, Find Hidden Profits Every business must invest in the required space, equipment, people, etc. to provide their chosen goods or services. Most cannot sell 100% of their capacity. BNI members can sell unsold capacity at full retail value. Other businesses have perishable products or slow-moving or unwanted inventory. BNI can also move these assets at full retail value.		Enhance Personal or Family Income Who among us couldn’t use a little more money? Because barter is primarily generated by incremental business, many BNI members see it as a revenue stream over and above their existing baseline income.
	Conserve Cash Everyone spends cash everyday for something they could have purchased with barter instead. Spending barter instead of cash effectively preserves your budget by increasing your spending ability. Meanwhile, you conserve cash for savings, investments and for the few things you can’t buy through BNI.		Find More Time to Enjoy Success When you need more business or have inventory to move, one call to your BNI broker can save you countless hours. You can apply the same logic to tracking down vendors, supplies, and goods and services that you need for yourself and your business.
	Enjoy the Advantages of a Managed Business Relationship Trading member-to-member through BNI eliminates many negatives that are often found buying and selling in the cash world. Brokers manage both sides of the trade, ensuring satisfaction. Each trade is approved in advance so there are no receivables or concerns about non-payment. Barter purchases are as easy to conduct as using a credit card. Each month you recieve a full statement of account activity as detailed as a typical credit card or bank statement.		Enjoy Some of Life’s Luxuries Many business owners use their barter dollars as discretionary income. Their cash business covers the overhead. Barter dollars fund the vacation they could not afford or the fur coat they’ve always wanted. On trade, they send flowers on a whim, go out to eat more often or enjoy a show or concert.
