I have done barter deals over the years. Learned a great deal from doing
such deals. Making them has been fun and almost like a game. The game
being what can you get for what.
Last week, I sent out emails to local businesses here in Madison, Wisconsin
and inquired if they would be interested in taking me on as a dedicated
barter agent. Where's what I sent:
Email subject title: Do you have a barter agent?
Text body:
Dear [company name],
Do you currently have a barter agent on your staff? A barter agent is a
salesperson that generates an additional revenue stream, helps lower
operating costs, and increases employee benefits by way of barter deals with
other companies. I am interested in becoming a dedicated barter agent for a
company and like the idea of working for a [type of business I would like to
work for]. I am looking for a position that pays a base salary plus
commission. The commission would be off the barter revenue stream and the
reduction in operating expenses brought about. I would appreciate a chance
to discuss this proposal with you.
Thank you for your time. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely yours,
Scott Jensen

What I am wondering is if I should expand out my search for being a
dedicated barter agent by Madison. The job isn't a common one. No company
I have ever seen posts a Help Wanted ad for such position. I am thinking I
would need to propose such (as I've done here in Madison) to businesses that
I think would be the easiest and most enjoyable to do barter deals for.
Those would be IT companies (that have automated services that are easy and
practically cost no labor to add another client to), pizzerias (that
deliver), bakeries (that make doughnuts and muffins), and any restaurant
that delivers.
What I would love to do is get some experience working for a small company
and then parlay that experience into working for a major corporation. Or
ideally, start off doing so for a major corporation. I would love to be a
barter agent for an international airline.
But my question is just how to go about this. Is my email above a good
approach? Any suggestions on how to improve it? Any suggestions on how to
propose this to companies?
