Our perspectives of a trade show- like the IACP show Prardigm is attending- is different. I am usually the president of the company. There are thousands of people passing by. Some just want to talk. My company has spent thousands being there for a few hours. The people in the booth are paid to be pleasant, no matter how much their feet hurt or how long it has been since a bathroom break, and they do leave a good impression. BUT the company is there to make deals - distributors, dealers, foreign representation.. Those are the people that must be identified and ushered into the booth.
Sorry, it's just business. Let's hope Paradigm's experience is a good one - How about some pictures?
