I wanted to post this for every business owner in CT to read….I attended the BBU Barter Expo with 0 expectations. I am a member of another Barter company in Plainville that I won’t mention. I attended that show with great anticipation and excitment. To say the least it was a huge dissapointment. Enough said there. So I was basiclly dragged to this event by a business associate. All I can say is I was blown away. This event was top notch, from the Hotel staff, to the food service, to the BBU employees and especially to the members I got to speak with. I ran out of cards in the first hour. The auction was amazing. They had at least 200 items on display. They even had a Rolex that somebody won for over 15k.
It was an amazing night I want to thank everyone I met and can;t wait to do business with. A special thanks to Ted from DBK Jewelers, who guided me thru the maze!
This Barter company is top notch and everyone that works there is dedicated beyond believe. It was great to feel appreciated as a member!
