Speaking From Experience
by Marcy S. Yaffe, National Trade/Training Director
Whether an experience turns out to be a treat
or a trick is usually determined by a couple
of basic things, the way the agreement was
put together, clear communication of each
party’s expectations and the final execution.
When both parties have a complete
understanding and are in agreement as to
the terms, and each party carries out their
part of the deal as promised, most things in
life turn out to be “treats” and neither party
feels tricked.
It is critical that both parties ask questions
and get answers rather than making
assumptions regarding the terms of any
transaction. Call it respect, following the
Golden Rule, or just good sense. No matter
what we label it, when each person respects
the other and does what they say they are
going to do when they say they are going
to do it potential problems can be avoided.
And most important, if the other party isn’t
willing to follow these principles, walk
away from the deal. Don’t knowingly ask
for trouble as another opportunity will
come along. My 87 year old daddy uses the
question, “What happens if I do, and what
happens if I don’t” as a litmus test and
guiding principle. It works every time.
I was recently called to intervene in a
situation where a Tradebank client wasn’t
happy with a painter who painted his offices.
The client said even though the walls were
painted to his satisfaction, the painter
didn’t paint the ceilings and the buyer was
refusing to pay until the job was complete.
The painter said he painted the walls as he
agreed to and was entitled to payment. Of
course my first question to them was: what
was defined in your contract? Each replied
there was no contract, the painter said, “He
asked me to paint his three offices and I
gave him my price. He accepted and I did
the painting the very next day. Nothing was
ever said about the ceilings. We only talked
about the walls and I did the walls.” The
buyer replied, “Well I assumed he would
know the ceilings were part of the job.” It
is disturbing that for some, it is easier to
deflect their own mistakes to others rather
than assume responsibility for their own
oversights. In this instance, it was the
responsibility of the buyer and the seller to
obtain a written clarification of the scope
of the project, cost, and payment terms.
Creating an agreement in writing is just
prudent business practice.
How many of you have heard the term or
ever had to pay “stupid tax”? Stupid tax is
the penalty we all have had to pay (some
more often than others) when for whatever
reason we didn’t do the right thing in the
beginning. We made assumptions rather
than obtain definitive answers; we didn’t
get things in writing and gambled that
things would work out or we wouldn’t get
caught. Our best recourse to avoid paying
stupid tax is to make sure we take the time
to define and document each agreement.
Transactions through Tradebank are no
different. Make sure you and your trading
partner have a complete understanding
of the terms of the transaction. Do your
homework, make sure you are in agreement
with all the components of the deal and put
the terms in writing. For larger jobs, contact
your broker and secure the funds through
Escrow for jobs that are not completed at
the point of sale. We all need to do our due
diligence to ensure successful transactions
and avoid paying stupid tax.

and Training Director of Tradebank
International. She has over 25 years
experience brokering barter transactions.

A Regional Owner Replies
by: Marcy S. Yaffe
Lavonda Henry and Charlene
Lawrence are the Regional Owners
of Tradebank of Indianapolis.
MY: Lavonda and Charlene, you
both have been in the barter industry
for many years. One of the best
“treats” of being part of Tradebank
is acquiring new business. What do
you want our clients to know about
how to best market their products
and services locally and throughout
the Tradebank network?
LH: It is impossible to communicate
too much. Communicate with your
Tradebank Broker and local office
staff. Communicate with other
Tradebank trading partners. Let
them know the type of work that is
a fit for you. Who are your potential
customers? What products and
services do you want to sell? From
there the list goes on how to best
market your company.
Be sure you have logged in and
completed your information in
mytradebank.com. Update your
Client Profile. This includes the
categories of the goods and services
you sell, accompanied by solid key
words and a complete description
of what you trade and how to trade
with you, your ‘haves’ and ‘wants’,

to understand trade is a limited currency, but if utilized correctly it can keep
your cash in the bank. Communicate, Communicate, Communicate. (Oh, I
already said that…but it can’t be said enough.)
CL: As far as treats, our clients that can sell out of market get excited to be
able to market themselves nationwide without the extreme cost associated
with national advertising exposure. Our local clients also realize the same
benefit of cutting out their competition and getting customers from different
areas of the city. This is exposure to a customer base they normally would

Introducing The New Owners of
Tradebank of Atlanta-Dekalb
A strong sense of responsibility, the ability
to overcome challenges and commitment
to setting and achieving goals are the
mutual personal characteristics that
motivated Julius Green and Lance Melon
to form a partnership and purchase the
Tradebank of Atlanta-DeKalb franchise
from Steve Watson. Both Green and
Melon did business together in the past
and both gentlemen know the hard work
required to run a successful business and
are eager to duplicate their successes as
Tradebank Regional Owners.
Green was introduced to Tradebank
through his friend and Tradebank client,
Mark Taylor. Green saw the tremendous
opportunities barter provided for business
owners and recognized how his own
marketing company could benefit from
being part of Tradebank, so he immediately
joined Tradebank. As an entrepreneur,
Green knew in addition to trading through
his company, he could help others by
assisting them in replicating what he was
doing and they could use Tradebank to
grow their businesses, too. So he contacted
his partner in another business venture,
Lance Melon. It didn’t take long for both
gentlemen to decide they wanted to own
a Tradebank franchise. Since Melon lives
in Stone Mountain, they set their sights
on owning Tradebank of DeKalb. The
timing was right; the previous owner was
in a position to sell, and Green and Melon
were in a position to buy. The transfer
was effective September 1st when the
Tradebank baton was passed from Jerry
Holley who was managing the region for
Steve Watson to Green and Melon.
Neither of the gentlemen shy away from
getting down to basics as both have a
“can do” approach to growing the DeKalb
region. “We work with a Tradebank
broker experienced in customer service
and business management and our team is
dedicated to making Tradebank a valuable
Lance Melon
Julius Green
part of our existing and new client’s world,” says Green. “Linda, our Broker, is working
hard to get to know the clients and what they trade, and equally important, assisting them
with saving their cash. Our objective is to make and save money for Tradebank clients. We
take a pro-active approach to our new partnerships with Tradebank clients.”
“We’re in a people business and we understand how to get to know people, find out what
challenges they face and help them become more successful,” explains Melon.
Both gentlemen have strong business backgrounds and understand the demands business
owners face on a day-to-day basis based on their own experiences. Green holds a degree
in Accounting from Alabama A & M University in addition to being a mentor to business
owners and individuals throughout the world. Melon has owned businesses since he was
18 years old. He has extensive experience in retail management and served on a United
States Naval submarine. Both gentlemen are strong family men, each having two children.

Tradebank Clients Reply “How I Benefit From Tradebank”
“Tradebank of Charlotte has been a great
blessing for us and our business! When we joined
Tradebank a little less than 2 years ago, we were
new first time business owners. With no extra
cash to advertise, we joined Tradebank and used
our Tradebank dollars to put toward business
advertisement and other company expenses.
Because of our advertisements going out the first
year through Tradebank, it has brought us new
cash customers, saved us money and our business
is doing great! Thank you Tradebank!”
“Tradebank has helped my cash flow by using
it for a number of different expenses, including
employee bonuses. It also has helped me travel to
places I probably would not have gone because of
cash expenses. It brought me new business that
I would not have received if I wasn’t a trading
partner, and I have received cash business due to
word of mouth referrals.”

“Tradebank has been a very important part of
our business strategy since the first of this year.
When times were tough in the rough economy,
Tradebank members were still going strong here
in Omaha. Tradebank income was coming in
and when emergencies came up, the members
of Tradebank were there to help. Thanks to
Tradebank, we were able to keep our restaurant
functioning and survived the tough first half of
2009.”
Tom Crow

“What Tradebank has done for me is to turn idle time
and inventory into revenue. These Tradebank clients
have helped us fill our day on many occasions. I’m
also a partner in a beachfront condo. My broker
helps me keep an eye on upcoming vacancies and
we’ve managed to produce trade dollars where before
it sat empty, generating nothing. We’ve learned to
utilize those Tradebank dollars to our benefit for a
wide variety of expenses that we previously paid in
cash, now paid for by new customers we’ve gained
through Tradebank.”
Tracy Honea

“My business benefits from being a member of
Tradebank. Tradebank has brought us new customers,
some of which have also done cash business with
us. We’ve been able to use barter to offset expenses
and conserve our cash. Some of the ways we have
used our trade dollars include: purchasing a new
laser printer for my office, purchasing replacement
cartridges for printers and taking beach vacations
including going to Disney World. I feel Tradebank
delivers a big benefit to businesses.”
“Tradebank enabled me to remodel an old garage
and turn it into a working shop for my sign and
banner printing business and remodel a rental house
this past summer. I was able to pay for the labor and
find many of the materials needed on the rental
house through Tradebank. That was in addition to
eating with Tradebank and using Tradebank for
dry cleaning, vacations at the beach, oil changes
and more. I received an email from a member of
my church who is actively involved in a non-profit
organization working with recovering drug addicts.
They needed new tires and brakes for the van they
use to transport the people to their jobs. I was able to
take care of their needs all with Tradebank.”

“Tradebank has helped my business keep rolling
on in this recession by exposing me to a new
network of business owners who find value in
my services. Not only am I finding new clients
throughout the Tradebank network, I am finding
services that I need to run my business and my
life. Tradebank has actually helped me to succeed
through their bartering connections!”

“Besides conserving cash, trading for goods and services that were
often not expected expenses, one of the benefits I appreciate the
most about the Tradebank community is the networking with other
business owners. For every trading client, there is usually several
cash paying referred customers. Another client even referred some
of the business relationships I now have, that are not Tradebank
members, to me. My banker, attorney and even several of the limo
drivers were all referred to me by someone within Tradebank.”

Tradebank Expands Trade University
“Tradebank is committed to
establishing
a

foundation for our clients and
developing long term mutually
profitable
interactions
among
Tradebank clients. Trade University
is instrumental in facilitating winwin-win-win relationships with our
clients,” says Tradebank’s National
Trade and Training Director, Marcy
S. Yaffe.
Over 25 years ago John Davis,
founder and CEO of Tradebank
International,
began
Trade
University as a program designed
to teach clients how to be successful
traders. Davis saw a learning curve
with new traders in their awareness
of how to best use trade to improve
their business and enhance their
personal lifestyle. He realized that
while traders love the concept of
barter and want to trade, they often
lack the practical knowledge of how
to be part of the Tradebank trading
network and maximize their trading
potential. Davis initiated Trade
University as a teaching tool to help
accelerate client’s awareness of
trading in general and specifically
how to realize the full benefits
available through Tradebank. “One
of the things we teach at the Trade
University is the concept of “found
money”. While clients understand
they trade the goods and services
their business offers to generate
additional revenue, they don’t
always realize another source of
revenue can be earned from what we
term ‘found money’. Found money

cars, furniture, collectibles (such

Davis.
“Trade University is presented
to Tradebank clients by
Tradebank
International
and the Tradebank Regional
Staff as an intensive course
in understanding the power
of Tradebank and using
barter as a new business
tool. During the two to
three hour course, business
owners learn how to be
successful Tradebank clients,
the opportunities trading
through Tradebank represent,
the policies and procedures
associated with Tradebank’s
fair trading practices, and
how to use Tradebank’s interactive
website, myTradebank.com. Trade
University also places a strong
emphasis on developing long term
relationships and networking with
the Tradebank Regional Owners,
Brokers and fellow trading partners.
“I know of no other company,
barter or otherwise, that pays their
clients to learn how to be successful
using their product,” explains
Yaffe. “First time participants in
the Trade University class are
incentivized to complete the course
and receive trade dollar bonuses
upon graduation. We offer trade
dollar bonuses for making sales and
purchases during our trading session
along with additional bonuses for

the value of attending the Trade
University is such that it encourages
clients to continue to attend the
classes. “We have clients who have
graduated from Trade University
yet they attend every time we hold

University Certified Tradebank
Instructor. “They tell us each time
they attend they learn something

Stick With Tradebank
Take a moment and think about everything you encounter with a sticker or label.
There are price stickers and identification labels, and window stickers and stickers
to update printed materials. Your business may use shipping labels, reorder stickers
and stickers on your products. Purchasing your stickers through Tradebank client
Flexible Tape and Label offers you another opportunity to save your cash.
Flexible Tape and Label Company located in Memphis sells all type of labels that
are used on equipment and disposable products. They even make custom labels
for the printing industry. However, when Flexible Tape and Label was founded
in 1951, their primary customers were lumber companies. In the 1950’s Memphis
was the hardwood flooring capital of the world and printing of tape that tagged the
lumber was the main source of income for the Magnus family business.
As the demand for their services changed, so did the capabilities of the second
generation family owned business. Over the past 58 years, in keeping with the
demands of the marketplace, their equipment has been continually upgraded to
allow them greater flexibility in the product lines they carry, all the while providing
generations of experience in supplying most kinds of adhesive labels. “Ingredients
labels, product instructions, political stickers, identification stickers are just a few
of the labels we provide for our customers. We print on gloss, matt, fluorescent,
foil, vinyl and polyester. The adhesive can be permanent or removable. The shape
can be rounded corners, rectangles, circles, ovals, or butt-cut. Colors can be from
one to seven. The labels can be printed in rolls, sheets or fanfold and can be used
in thermal, laser, ink jet and dot matrix printers. We can even number and bar code
them if you’d like. There is not much we can’t do,” says Alan Magnus, company
President. For complete product information, go to flexiblelabel.com.
Magnus was introduced to Tradebank through his friends Terri and Tim Cobb,
owners of Diversified Products, a long time Tradebank client. Coincidently,
Magnus was having dinner at the same restaurant where the Cobbs were attending
a Tradebank meeting. “I asked the Cobbs about their meeting so they told me
about Tradebank and asked if I wanted to join the meeting or have someone set
an appointment with me to explain more about how Tradebank could benefit my
company as it did with theirs. I have known the Cobbs for years and knew if they
were participating and said there would be a benefit to me, of course I’d listen,”
Magnus recalls.
Magnus continues, “I have been both surprised and pleased at the new customers I
have developed since joining Tradebank. Usually we have to seek new customers,
now people are calling us inquiring about our products. It is a welcome thing to
see. I have found Tradebank to be comprised of reliable business owners who want
to trade to benefit their business. Now that we have accumulated trade dollars we
are actively exploring purchasing the things we need in order to conserve our cash.
There are plenty of purchasing options, so this is working out very well for us.”
