Just so you know.. I have been PAYING MY OWN WAY to the shows for the past couple of years... NO FREEBIES HERE...

I knew if I met these people in person, talked with them and made them great deals they could not refuse that I could get their business.
I personally paid out over 10k last year going to shows out of my own pocket.

but you know what.. IT WAS WORTH IT... look at this awesome job with this amazing company that I just got!


I have worked VERY hard for everything I have ever gotten P...

I wish you the best of luck .
thanks, best luck to you too, but I wasn't the thread starter, and I don't know either you or paraskass

I just made an ironic comment that going to shows and being known face to face apparently helps in getting all those sales rep/marketing jobs.... even though there are thousands of webmasters who never attends shows and for dealing with them, you don't have any real advantage over f.e. Paraskass ( well, Im referring now rather to typical sales rep. jobs, and you seem to have other, more important tasks with TopBucks so maybe this is the wrong example, sorry )

but there are many people on this board who are knowleadgable within this industry, but they don't get jobs offered because they aren't known face to face

and whether Paraskass is smart and indeed qualified for a job similar to yours, I can't comment, again I don't know him
