Note: Once you register PLEASE email [email protected] with AN introduction of your business, THE products or services you offer, AND the products and services you are looking for/the connections you are seeking.
For example. You are a restaurant owner and you are looking for a new wine supplier. You opened a new clothing store and you are looking for an advertiser. You are a DJ looking for a new accountant. You sell candles and you are looking for a new printing shop.
TELL US. This helps us match you to a correct cohort and get your money's worth out of your ticket.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unhappy with a current supplier? Unhappy with the current price you are paying? Looking for new partnerships and new ways of doing business? Then come join us for a night of business speed dating. Any business owner. Any industry.
Are you looking to connect with entrepreneurs and business owners in the city? This is your chance! Meet, share, and grow alongside amazing women shaping Toronto. Whether you're just starting out or scaling up, this in-person meetup is all about support, networking, and fun. Don't miss out on building your community and boosting your business vibes!
The reason why I am personally making this event is I've often found other female networking events lack actionable takeaways. This networking event has specific goals and takeaways that can change the trajectory of your business forever.
This networking event is not for everyone. This is for business owners who are looking to create a community for their business so they can broker deals with competent like-mindedpeople they trust.
The reason why we need a barter community is so we can start saving our cash, so we have support, so we can know a gal who knows a gal who can get you what you need for your business to go to the next level. Maybe you need a new plumber, accountant, lawyer, engineer. Maybe your business needs printing or advertising. Maybe you need to book a venue or hire a DJ. What if you don't have the cash for it because you're a solo entrepreneur just starting out in your business or you're scaling and you don't have enough cash for the next level. The answer is...Direct trade in your community. Come to this event so you can know a gal who knows a gal who can do the job not in cash, but in a trade deal. When we support each other all of us rise.
You as a business owner will come to the event prepared to sell your product to a new audience, and are also unhappy with a current price tag for a product or service you pay for. You are looking for a new vendor or supplier who may offer a product or service in a trade deal instead of cash.
In partner with: BarterPay Victoria (&Van) and BarterPay Inc.
Agenda
🕑: 07:00 PM - 07:05 PM
Canada's Economic Outlook
Info: Why Canada‘s banking is tightening up, why loan approvals are shrinking, why grants are being reduced, why investor funding is limited for women, and why our community is our most important asset.
🕑: 07:05 PM - 07:10 PM
Why I started Barter Girls
Info: Why other networking events have failed me. How I went from knowing nobody to getting what I needed for my business, saving cash, and doing direct trade deals in the first three months of my startup.
🕑: 07:10 PM - 07:15 PM
It's about who you know not what you know
Info: Why your business ecosystem can change the trajectory of your business. Why boys clubs are often more successful. Why female entrepreneurs fail, trying to do it all alone.
🕑: 07:15 PM - 07:20 PM
Why do a barter trade deal at all?
Info: For Sellers: Cash is king but have you exhausted all your sales channels? For Buyers: Why pay cash when a gal you met will do a trade deal without you having to pay cash?
🕑: 07:20 PM - 07:25 PM
How trade deals are conducted and invoiced
Info: Direct trade deals have a Canadian dollar value. To keep your books clean we will discuss how to write an invoice and how to pay your tax in barter, since Barter trades are recognized by the CRA
🕑: 07:25 PM - 07:30 PM
Current Members
Info: An introduction to the 4000 members who are already conducting barter deals. Some who have been doing barter since the beginning 27 years ago when the club was founded. An overview of their most requested business products and services.
🕑: 07:30 PM - 08:00 PM
You tell me
Info: Open Floor. You tell me about your business and the direct products and services you need to take your business to the next level. Perhaps you are unsatisfied with a current supplier. Perhaps you are doing without a product because your cash is slim. Perhaps you haven’t found a partner you trust yet. For example, you need plumbing, accounting, legal, printing, office space, advertising, food, wine, meeting spaces, benefits for your employees, including resorts, dental, vision care, vet care, perhaps you need to upgrade your vehicle, car detailing or mechanics. Regardless of whether you do or do not join the Barter Girls or BarterPay community, your ticket pays for three months of brokering services, us looking for you and connecting your products and service offers when a match is found.
🕑: 08:00 PM - 09:30 PM
It's matchmaking time
Info: Where other female networking events would leave this hour for open mix and mingling, this networking event aims to connect you with the products and services that you are actually seeking and creating connections that can change the trajectory of your business forever. Get to meet people who are like-minded who want to support you and want to see you succeed because when we support each other, it doesn’t matter how much money our business has in the bank.
