Surf Expo

I was invited by ESS to go to the Surf Expo. The Expo is to reach out to potential new customers and retain old ones. It is a 3 day event, well 4 if you include set up. The event was held in Orlando, Fl. I basically got to act as a sales person but I couldn't seal the deal because I'm not a sales rep. My job was to talk to people, lead them to the actual sales rep, and man the fort. First day was Hell because we set up the booth. The other days were just talking to people and try to get new customers. The last day was Hell as well because that was break down day. We started a little early but we still didn't leave till late and drove all the way back to Wilmington. I actually had to stay longer in Wilmington because my stuff was in the truck. Over all the event was amazing. I met several people who are huge names in the industry.
