Think of SBC as having your own sales force. We seek out and bring you new customers in exchange for a “sales commission” — a 6% cash transaction fee whenever you sell or purchase using SBC trade dollars. Although the 6% cash transaction fee is small, it yields big benefits. SBC works to promote your company though its network of barter brokers.
In addition to marketing your company, goods and services through our brokers, SBC also gives you exposure through our company newsletters and other communications within the SBC network. When you join SBC, you essentially acquire a sales force, a marketing company and a huge network of pre-qualified customer prospects ready to conduct business with you, using the SBC currency!
