The time you find out if the show was profitable for you is months after. After the "Yes" turned into real business, it kept coming and the profits were made.

But let's not stop the BS we dish out to each other in an attempt to look good.

I have to agree with this 100%. tons of times you chat with people and they are like "yeah contact me when your back in the office" and they either never reply or they come back with yeah i don;t think theres anything we can do together"

Talk is cheap. Unles syou hammer something firm there Biz is probally only 40% of what you are hoping after the "Biz" talks at shows
