BBX is more than a traditional business network, we are a community of businesses who work in collaboration to help each other grow. Our spare capacity model allows businesses to leverage what they already have, to get something they really want or need. Be it business, advertising or just lifestyle goods they maybe don’t have the budget for.
Here’s how BBX is different from a traditional business network:
The Purpose: Growing Together vs Self Interest Networking
Our goal is mutual benefit. Our community members are actively trading with each other by using their spare capacity which provides growth opportunities for everyone.
Ongoing Support vs Occasional Meetings
We provide ongoing support from your personal assigned account manager. They facilitate transactions and let you know what opportunities for you to buy and sell within the network. There is active help for you. Whether you need to schedule a meeting, help with your account or want give feedback on your advert, your account manager will assist.
Trade Enabled vs Referral Only
Our members trade using digital trade credits only, this allows them to buy and sell without affecting their cash flow. This allows businesses to gain value even when their cash flow may be slow. In a typical network, business usually happens externally based on referrals and a follow up meeting.
Community Spirit vs Transactional Culture
In the BBX community, we are built on values such as community, entrepreneurial spirit and trust. In a typical network, it may often feel like just a transactional space.
Learning and Growth vs Just Sales
BBX offers regular webinars, workshops and educational events that help businesses learn to grow and trade smarter. We have a proactive approach to helping members use their BBX better. Education is one of our focuses instead of having sales networking.
Active Marketing vs Passive Connections
At BBX, there is a clear emphasis on making it easier and faster for members to trade with one another.We have an active marketplace where you can browse offers, as well as newsletters promoting your businesses and other trading opportunities. We make an effort to make sure that you have updated information at all times. Unlike business networks, we assist with follow ups and make sure transactions go through.
