"With BizX, you can spend it as fast as
you get it."
Lee Travis is the owner of OBOT Electric and Wipliance, two different companies
providing electrical and low voltage solutions for residential and commercial
locations.
Travis had previously been the CEO of a company that was a member of
BizXchange, so he had a good understanding of how well bartering with BizX worked.
"When he left and started his own company he immediately joined BizXchange, knowing that it would be important to his own company's development," says Zach
Foster, Travis' BizX Account Executive.
As Travis was developing Wipliance, BizXchange was able to help him get additional
clients and save on expenses that most other start-ups would not be able to afford.
"With a down economy it's important to invest in media and advertising. And when
you invest in these things with trade, it makes it that much more affordable," Travis
claims. And two years later, BizXchange was so much a part of his business routine
that he signed on his new business OBOT Electric.
One aspect of BizXchange that Travis enjoys is the fact that his Account Executive is
actively getting him new business on a regular basis. "Business that gets sent to me
from BizX is in addition to business I already have," Travis says. "And I'm willing to
accept it, because, with BizX, you can spend it as fast as you get it."
Another expense that Travis is happy to use BizX for is to keep his hardworking
employees happy. "We were able to make employee events nicer," he says. And
although he invests the majority of his BizX into his businesses, he does admit that he
is occasionally able to "spoil" himself with items he wouldn't buy if it weren't on BizX,
including "home improvements and a really nice hot tub."
Travis has been happy trading within the BizXchange network because of the quality
of members. He looks forward to working with companies that provide him with
what he says are "more spending opportunities with businesses that provide better
service."
