Jimmy DeGroot: The Trade Show’s Over—Now What? | July 29, 2025 (0 comments)
Appleton, WI--You’re back home, unpacked and back in the store. Now what about that thing you got excited about when you were at the show?
So many of us have an epiphany or are delighted about a new venture, a new line, a new plan and then an employee gives notice, or you have a big sale you need to focus on. Life seems to slip back into the same ol’ same ol’
Take three minutes for a cup of coffee, grab your notes from the show and decide you’re going to get on that one thing you committed to that would add value to your life. Take a look. Let it jog your memory and add a thing or two to your calendar right now to follow up.
It’s important to act on those feelings when it can spur you or your business forward. So don’t let the time, money and effort you spent in going to the show go to waste. Make plans right now to put that excitement into action
