Top 10 Reasons Why I Hate Tradeshows

2/26/2013

1 Comment

 
#10 – Standing for 9 hours in a corporate polo with khakis is played out.

#9 – Collecting business cards in a fish bowl does not mean you’re collecting sales leads.

#8 – Wi-fi services cost $200/day.

#7 – Your main role is to giveaway pens, stress balls, smart phone holders and coffee mugs. Did I miss anything?

#6 – Talking to people hung over who have ZERO interest in your products or services is painful.

#5 – Waving to people uncomfortably as they walk by your booth is lame.

#4 – Scanning attendee’s badges to build a “list of leads” is not really building a list of leads.

#3 – You have to fly cross country to build a trade show booth to then only take it apart and package it up again.

#2 – You have to talk to people who only visit your booth to get your free giveaway.

#1 – When you get back to the office you have to answer the question, “how was the show?” at least 20 times!

Feel free to add to the list.
