ITEX

This was one of the worse experiences I have ever had. They charge your account every month regardless of, if you purchase or not. Many of the members stop accepting to render any services or barter with you, after a short while joining the trade. I tried to use the trade dollars to pay for advertisement which was offered as a service by one of the directors, That resulted in not even a single customer call for my business. The prices for services and goods paying with trade dollars becomes three fold more expensive compare to cash prices and even though they charge you monthly fees, on top of that whoever is the receiver of goods or services has to pay a 6% percent transaction fee, and charge the customer proper sales taxes. Becuse of all the cash fees that they charged me, I would have been in much better financial posion if I have just paid cash for my purchace and stay away from this company.

I’ve have been an Itex member over 20 years. (Change name or ownership)
If you are in San Jose, maybe John can help. But here in the East Bay it is the worst Barter company I am working with. I would like to close our account but cannot find anything to spend with and have ABSOLUTELY no help …

Trade and barter concept has been around longer than there has been money. Now it is in the modern day. And it comes with an awesome account manager.
If you have not quite gotten the grasp of how this works, let me give you a break down; I have goods and services, someone comes in from the ITEX world and pays me in ITEX dollars. Same as a US dollar and can be spent with anyone else in the ITEX family.
As a business owner, most of these businesses may not have found me in the first place. It is new business Many of the emergency service calls (plumbing, electrician, fire clean up, etc.) I have gotten done have been done using trade dollars.
I am so glad I got involved.
Even more so, I am glad that John is my representative.

Barter exchange opens up lots of possibilities for the business owner to obtain great goods and services – and ITEX certainly does that. But as a business owner myself, the value of ITEX is the opportunity to reach clients I never would reach otherwise. John Jussen, the local owner, constantly introduces me to business owners and «opens doors.» This is a priceless resource for any small business entrepreneur.

I learned about ITEX from my massage therapist, but joined after meeting John Jussen. He is both intuitive and genuine, and an all around joy to work with. His energy and the care he takes with his clients, coupled with his ability to link people together is both impressive and admirable. His dedication to his clients makes ITEX and easy choice and the benefits are fantastic. Its a brilliant concept and I’m glad to have joined. I highly recommend this to any business. Its easy to use and beneficial all around.

I’ve been a member of ITEX for a little under 6 months now and am thrilled with what John has been able to do for me. I talked to him about massage gift certificates for my clients and he had them to me the very next day (dropped them off at my business!). Along with the masseuse, he’s also connected me with a chiropractor, web designer and mechanic already!
I highly recommend joining John and ITEX if you have your own business!
