It's Friday night and late. Tuesday evening I traveled to Atlantic City for our annual showing of wide format copiers and white boards. Our event started Wednesday in the AM and lasted until 1PM today. I'm getting too old to put in 10 hour days on the show floor (lol). I love doing them because of the interaction with potential clients and you never know who you're going to meet. We brought the BIG 65 inch white board and it was the sizzle that we needed to catch all of those prospects. All in all the show was decent, this was our third year and I'm looking forward to next year. Let's say I was on top of my game for demonstration and communicating!

The way in which people evaluate products, services, vendors, etc. has completely changed due to the wealth of information that is available online.
