Actually when it comes down to who you know,its not the other pro's that are the most important,its the factory reps.You are in the right place Chris to meet the reps.As we get closer to all the boat shows start asking your reps if they have a booth and if so would they like any help working.If they say they dont tell them you will be at the show anyways and stop by to visit.When you arive there ask if anyone wants to take a break or go have lunch.It never hurts to just hang out at the booth's and shoot the $h!t with the guys.If you are dressed decent and are there talking,sometimes the customers dont know you dont work the booth and will ask you questions,I would tell them "I dont work here but I can tell you this.....".Thats what I did with Castaway.When you get there be a sales man create excitement and show product.


The shows are key.
