Keep it simple
May 19th, 2010
We are gradually introducing minor changes to improve the way the web site works. We have made it easier now to view your activity history, by adding the button on the dashboard.
Those who haven’t updated their profile lately you can now add a blurb about your business so we can promote your business in our blog. We want to reward members with a free plug every now and then, as our way of saying thank you for being a valued member.
We are currently working on changing the way you set up the regions that you service. Up until now it has been difficult for those in the capital cities to add all the regions that they service, as a result some haven’t even bothered setting it up properly. Unfortunately if the regions aren’t selected we can’t match buyers to your skills, because we don’t know in what areas you operate.
We are going to make it easier by giving you the option of selecting regional areas instead of individual post codes, as well as being able to supply state and national services. You will receive a notice by email telling you when the changes will take effect. We are always looking to improve the Best Trade Bid site, making it easier for everyone to use.
As I look at some of the other sites that offer a similar service, I see that to be a supplier you have to jump through so many of the companies’ hoops to be accepted, it isn’t even worth the bother. You sometimes have to pay a subscription, a commission and a higher lead price to have that company shuffle paperwork, then you are responsible to them for reporting things they don’t need to know.
At Best Trade Bid, we respect your privacy and the way you wish to run your business. You answer to the authorities if you wrongly deal with clients. You don’t have to answer to us as well. Your clients are your responsibility, and your livelihood.
We are here to help.
We have gone to great lengths to make our system work in the simplest way.
We simply want to provide a quality service that connects buyers with providers through a system that is fair and affordable to all businesses.
We want to reduce the paperwork and regulations
We want to take the hassle out of being a member.
We want businesses to get the job prospects and deal with the fine detail the way they know best.
We want all businesses to be on the same level of opportunity.
We don’t treat the buying public like they’re stupid and need to be protected from themselves and risky decisions.
We are not like big brother watching over every action you take demanding reports etc… Businesses take responsibility for their own actions, and so do buyers.
We give you the responsibility of dealing directly with the buyer on mutually acceptable terms.
A couple of businesses that have realized the value in being members recently are;

We want to welcome these businesses on board and hope we can provide each of them with many job opportunities for many years to come
If you know of a business that is looking to gain new customers, tell them about us. It’s difficult to spread the word around the whole nation on a very limited budget, but with your help we can achieve big things.
If you want to copy and paste this to an email, you’re welcome. We’d appreciate the help.
I’m sending this because I’m helping my friend promote this really helpful business that easily connects buyers with suppliers. It’s only in Australia at the moment, its gathering momentum and it’s free to join. Have a look sometime and get with the program. I did. Google, Best Trade Bid, or click here.
On behalf of the team.
