We've had 3 meetings with investors and key marketing people in Florida over the past five months in an effort to dramatically increase the number of Tradia ® Franchise Operations in the USA and Canada. We're almost complete in our negotiations and feel certain that Tradia ® will be the largest Barter Exchange Franchise in North America. There's always room at the top and we expect to be there in 2 short years.
In mid-April of this year, we video taped a key portion of our Franchise / Trade Director training that will play a huge role in our Franchise & staff training efforts. Franchisee's will use our training system to teach their growing staff members how to do the Tradia ® business. You can be in all places at all times when you use the technology available to us today. On-line training as well as weekly web-conference training will add to our vast training system and make it possible that every single Tradia ® representative will speak from the same platform based on a systematic and readily available training format. If you buy a Tradia ® Franchise, you expect to get more results and our training does deliver that at every level.
We have the name, the marketing materials, the training system, a trained corporate staff, a targeted business plan with 6 levels of profitability and a dynamic business opportunity aimed at small business, all ready for this expansion. We're ready for the wave of growth and we're excited. Tradia ® is a cash-less alternative to banks, credit cards and debt. People can literally trade what they have to get what they want using the Tradia ® Barter Exchange & Database.
After a lot of preparation and testing, Tradia ® is ready to set the pace and take the lead in the Barter industry.
