“BizX is totally awesome.”

Rico Smith had experience with organized barter through other trade exchanges in the past, but after joining BizXchange he focused on his BizX income. “I want BizX business to be the only trade business I accept,” Smith said. He is currently in the process of phasing out his other trade relationships, with a goal of only accepting BizX.

As a member of BizXchange, Smith is getting a new stream of customers that come to Auto Buff before spending cash elsewhere on auto related expenses. “The BizX Account Executives are always working to get me more business,” said Smith. “But members also come to me because they were referred by other BizX members.”

With Smith’s barter experience, along with Auto Buff’s proven track record of satisfied customers, his Account Executive enjoys working with him. “Sending other members to Rico is never a problem,” said Smith’s Account Executive. “If someone is new to BizX, he even takes the time to make sure they understand how bartering works.”

Although Smith invests much of his BizX revenue in business expenses like advertising, IT support and employee incentives, he also uses it for personal expenses such as dining out. “I love to dine out,” Smith admits, “and new restaurants are always opening up to accepting BizX.”

Smith appreciates his BizX relationship because there are always people in the network willing to help him out. He also enjoys the quality of other BizX members and the fact that additional members are constantly joining. “I highly recommend BizX,” says Smith. As an advocate of trade, he tells other business owners that “BizX is totally awesome.”
