You can ask Scup and Dirty, “what did Eric do at the Do it Best Fall Market?”. They will tell you that I did not sit around waiting for people to walk into our booth. I went out there, into the aisle, and literally stopped anyone I could to divert them into our booth so that Scup, David and Daniela could take over with their demonstrations and technical discussion. I remember one man (who did come into the booth) said about me to his wife “Wow, he’s agressive” and his wife responding without skipping a beat “Yeah, and I love it. He’s passionate about the product”. If you are not willing to go “out there in the aisle” in life, then of course most opportunities are going to walk by. It’s as simple as that.

I find these kinds of posts interesting. No one has ever argued that company doesn't work hard. Yet every opportunity they use the blog to pat themselves on the back for doing their job. lol Here is an example of two shareholders spending time with the CEO and his girlfriend (who also works for the company) in a business setting. It is nice that at least two of the people who are so upside down (supposedly) in this mess get to see first hand that the company is out there pounding the pavement and chasing store customers down in the aisles. Great to know they continue to be so "aggressive".
From a "cash flow from operations and debt" perspective...curious how lucrative these trips are. Paying for everyone to go on these trips must be expensive these days. I wonder if they have any little charts to tell shareholders if these adventures generate income for the company or not.
