Wayne: Hey, everyone! Welcome back to another Thursday edition of the Talking Pools Podcast. Today, we’re tackling a big topic that, honestly, doesn’t get enough credit in our industry – trade shows! So, Steve, I know you’re a regular on the trade show circuit. Let’s dive into why these events are worth the time and effort for pool pros.
Steve: Absolutely, Wayne. Trade shows are gold mines for education, networking, and just keeping up with what’s new in the industry. They’re way more than just booths and freebies. You can really take your skills to the next level. Take the instructor’s course, for example. That’s invaluable for anyone who wants to teach others about pool care – I’ve seen it change the way techs work.
Wayne: Right! And then there are seminars like the water balance session, which, let’s face it, are essential. The more you know about balancing water chemistry, the better you can serve your customers. It’s a skill that can make or break your reputation.
Steve: Exactly. And that’s just the educational side. Trade shows are prime territory for networking. I can’t tell you how many clients I’ve met on a trade show floor. It’s not just about finding new business; it’s also a chance to reconnect with long-time clients and colleagues.
Wayne: And let’s not forget – it’s great to see the people who actually use the products. You get real-time feedback, and you can have those conversations that only happen in person.
Steve: Yeah, that’s so valuable. Plus, trade shows give you the perfect opportunity to showcase new products and offer exclusive deals. When people can see and test things out right there, it builds trust. They’re more likely to buy when they see it in action.
Wayne: That’s the strategic value right there. You might spend money to attend, but the relationships you build and the product exposure you get can pay off big time. So, for anyone considering it, don’t just look at the costs – think of the opportunities.
Steve: Absolutely. You’re investing in yourself and your business. Plus, there’s something about a trade show that just gets everyone excited. You leave with new ideas, new friends, and maybe a few new clients.
Wayne: Couldn’t agree more. Trade shows are essential for staying connected, staying educated, and staying ahead. So, for everyone listening, mark your calendars for the next show, and we hope to see you there!
