Wink Re: Is ASI show worth it for EMB?

I'm 37, started making sales calls with my dad when I was 5. We have gone to the shows on and off for years....then the same vendors come to our shop and show us the same things. How many LED flashlights can one guy look at?

Pick a few good items from a couple of good vendors and show them to everyone. I always get a kick out of vendors asking me "what sort of industry are you showing that to"? Um, dude, it's a pizza cutter...who couldn't use a pizza cutter? Or whatever the item happens to be.

Trade shows are where people are at when I'm calling on their customers.
