Thanks, Nick, for sharing your story! After two years of cold calling, drawn-out sales visits and chasing down leads, I decided to showcase my offerings at the Restaurants Canada Show. In three days of exhibiting, I received tremendous exposure to my target market and saved so much time. It all makes so much sense now my market coming to see me on their own time, not vice versa. I won t hesitate to exhibit again next year. Nick Singh Universal Misting Systems
