Roadie's Road Trip - InfoComm 2009

by Steve Dilts Email

Roadie and I hit the road last week and headed to Orlando for InfoComm 2009 at the Orange County Convention Center.

We began to greet visitors at the AVForSale booth the moment the show opened Wednesday morning. Throughout the next 3 days, the flow was constant at our booth with nearly 200 people stopping by to learn more about how we can help get cash for unused gear.

To those who already know us, thanks for stopping by to say “hi”. It’s always good to have the opportunity to put a face to a name and be able to visit one-on-one with those of you we work with remotely throughout the year.

To those meeting us for the first time, we heard a lot of “wows” and several compliments on our business model. We look forward to working with you. As the 300+ customers we’ve already helped can attest, we can help clear out that inventory you thought had no remaining value.

Right until the last minute of the show, while other exhibitors were breaking down and packing up their booths, we were still answering questions from people who sought us out after hearing about us from other people on the show floor. What a great show it was!

With LDI coming up and other shows in the works, we look forward to catching up again with existing customers and meeting new ones at the coming shows.

The greatest compliment was to have one of our current customers look at someone walking up who hasn’t worked with us yet and say “you need these guys. All of us here this week have unused gear sitting around. These guys at AVForSale get old gear out of your hands and get a check into your hands. They’re great!” That’s what we like to hear!

To all who stopped by – past, present and future customers, we thank you! Watch for our mailings coming your way!

Sounds like the show was a great success. You're good at getting the message across in a straight forward manner, Steve. The customer knows he's getting the facts and not being fed a line.

Great report Steve, I hope the show was a success. The projector I purchased from you in March has been great.

wow - InfoComm 2009! Sounds like a good time was had by all. What a great way to get the message out to the public. This face-to-face communication adds a personal touch that is so lacking in today's automated world. There is no substitute for the human interaction (and information) gained from one-on-one presentations and speaking with the public - the subtle gestures, expressions, and questions that are otherwise missed. Your trip report made me wish I had been there!

Just read your blog. It was good meeting you the other day. Missed Roadie, though. Next time I'll have to get a picture with Roadie. Folks in my office would love it.
