I'm not "angry" at all...
I'm really quite happy.
So here you go....

That's cool.... but, what I know from others shows that "software is fallible".

The people who met us at the show and got to know us and our software benefited from being at the show that way.

Sponsors benefited from your software? Gimme my free passes!

Writing something off will save you whatever your tax bracket is off the cost. Let's say that adds up to 40% or so with federal and state taxes assuming you're in the top federal bracket.

My "TAX BRACKET" is so high, I don't even have to pay FICA this year.... does that count?

If you're spending the $3000 you made last month at your day job to go to the show to get free drinks and pretend you're a webmaster then you're right, it's not a good idea. But at that point you shouldn't even be in the business to begin with.

Typically, $3000 won't even cover my weekend. I don't have a "day job" and furthermore, I'm not in the "business" I'm a webmaster, not a lackie.

If you want to seriously be in the industry, learn, and grow within the industry you should definately be at Vegas Internext as it's the largest industry show.

If I want to be in the "industry" I won't be looking for $2 handouts from people that want me to promote their "program".

The sales were generated by meeting and spending time with people at our booth and the demonstrations of our software. Putting a face to a name and meeting a person goes a long way with a lot of people.

Winning them here would save you 100% so sure, it has a benefit. It's fun and it's free. Again, I don't get why you're so angry about everything.

If you don't want to go to the show don't go. Your anger and screaming about how it's stupid and an absolute waste makes me think you're just a part timer in this industry, that you don't take it seriously, and that you'll never become very successful in it. I could of course be 100% wrong tho |
