UC Sets Trading Records In Last
Three Months
IRTA's Universal Currency has been on its new customized software
system for three months, and in each month on the new system we have
set an all-time trading record. Total trading for the three month
period, August through October of 2015, usage was up 39% over that
same period of 2014. Trading is expected to continue to
increase even more as UC members add more listings to the UC
marketplace. IRTA Executive Director Ron Whitney thanks all their
members for helping make the last three months the most successful
in Universal Currency’s seventeen-year history! For further
information about increasing UC trading or adjusting to the new
software, contact Patty at patty@irta.com or

Let's Talk About Offset In Asia,
The Middle East, And Africa
ECCO's next symposium in London from18 to 19 November, brings
together offset authorities and experts from various regions, and
will use a case study as a basis to discuss offset business. New
actors in the field of offset management will also share their views
and proposals. Experts from the following countries will
also make presentations: South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, South
Africa, Australia and the United Arab Emirates. The 11th ECCO
(European Club for Countertrade and Offset) Symposium will be hosted
at DLA Piper’s offices in London, U.K. Forum — Wednesday

have been invited, and South Korea, Malaysia, Australia and South
Africa have confirmed participation. The forum provides the
opportunity to obtain up-to-date information on the countries'
offset policies and regulations. The ECCO annual dinner will be held
Wednesday evening, hosted by DLA Piper. Workshop —Thursday
19 November The director of the United Kingdom's Defense and
Security Industrial Engagement Policy (DSIEP), Mr. Fabrizio Harley,
will deliver the keynote address; sharing experiences in
implementing the new DSIEP policy in the UK. This workshop is unique
in that it will bring together a set of specialists, who will
discuss a fictitious offset deal. The expert speakers will
give the audience tips and advice relating to successful
negotiation. Every aspect of an offset contract will be covered:
legal, insurance, technology transfer, training, localization,
compliance, and types of offset. Both days will end with a round
table during which delegates can air their views and ask questions,
and there are enough networking breaks to discuss compliance.

This Year's Almost Over, Don’t Let
Your Guard Down On Sales!
Have you decided that the stretch between Thanksgiving and New
Year's Eve is a poor time to close new deals? Think again. Sales
don’t have to go dormant during the holidays if you follow these
strategies: →Understand the client mind-set. Even though
companies on a calendar year budget may be near or at the end of
their ability to spend money, think ahead. Counteract this objection
by offering to defer billing for sales booked in December.
→Deem December "customer appreciation month." The holidays are a
fine time to check in with all your customers to say "hi," wish them
a good season, and thank them for their business. Provide a small
gift or scrip to valued clients — it's an excellent way to get an
audience in a hectic month.
→Offer discounts and barter
incentives to new clients. Launch a strong offer to close new
business deals before December 31, by including special pricing and
barter offers. You can thus get a leg-up on the conventional
thinking that December is a slow sales month.
→Eye those
first-quarter goals. Beyond expectations that sales will continue
during December, encourage your sales personnel to use the 12th
month to "pencil in" their first-quarter sales prospects — so when
the world comes back to work they’ll be able to hit the ground
running!
Statistics Prove Bartering Efforts
Valuable During Holidays
- 69% of small businesses will give gifts
to customers and clients.
- 53% of small businesses will host
employee holiday parties.
- 51% of small businesses will give
year-end bonuses
