Trade shows afford a fast way to peruse other firm’s products or services that you may wish to distribute or buy. Be cautious. It is easy to make hasty and premature decisions during the excitement of a trade show. If you have any hesitation at all about coming to an agreement at a trade show, back off until you get home and have a chance to think it through. Or, at the very least, wait until the end of the show, when you have had a chance to evaluate all of the potential products or services that may enhance your ability to meet your own customer’s needs.
