5 ways to get free PR and save money at events

March 14, 2016 by Bobby Mikulas

I like people, energy, and hype. I am an ENFP on myers briggs, a yellow on the color chart, and an otter on… that test. I am also a stingy, penny-pinching saver. This is an interesting combo considering I love high energy, large scale events AND I do not like to spend money. Here are […]

New Questions to Ask

October 13, 2015 by Bobby Mikulas

Quality and impact: these are the big dogs of modern rising consumerism. Yet not too long ago, the questions were: What do people want or need? What is the going price for these items? How can I produce and sell the most of these items for the lowest price the fastest? Quality took a hit when […]

Is Bigger Better? Hoses, Fly Line, Zucchinis

September 15, 2015 by Bobby Mikulas

  In this culture, it’s easy to assume bigger is better. More stores, increased territories, bigger catalogs, more staff, bigger buildings. But there is a problem when being the biggest is the end goal (well, there are a lot of problems with this…). One problem with quick growth is how easily it forces you to sacrifice […]

Prepping for NLGS – Make sense of things with Rick Pontz

May 19, 2015 by Bobby Mikulas

  Let’s make sense of things with Rick Pontz. Every year I am amazed at both the professionalism and poise of some vendors, and also the lack of preparation of others. What is Drop Ship? We only have one line of pricing. What are SKU’s? These are just a few of the things I have heard over […]

Who Cares if it’s Face to Face? Part Three.

April 14, 2015 by Alex Mikulas

We finished last week confronting the difficult reality of anticipating trade-show ROI, and concluded that most business professionals highly value face to face interaction. We also concluded that although booth style, high budget trade-shows can provide some face to face interaction, they can be risky investments. Part three rounds out our series by discussing multiple avenues for […]

Who Cares if it’s Face to Face? Part Two.

April 8, 2015 by Alex Mikulas

Our last post concluded with two truths: 1) Tradeshows are worth it because they provide the opportunity for face-to-face interactions—the thing we as sales professionals and businessmen and women are all looking for at the end of the day. And 2)  to get worthwhile face-to-face interaction you need to put a lot of money, time, and […]

Homework, Giveaways, & Keeping ’em Hungry: 3 notes to make sure you don’t blow it when it matters most

February 25, 2015 by Bobby Mikulas

It is no mystery that in person meetings have a much higher conversion rate to sales than phone, social media, or even direct mail and email marketing. While there is no doubt that prospecting is necessary, many of our marketing efforts still exist purely for the sake of getting a face to face appointment with […]

The Ten Minutes That Can Change Your Life (or Business)

January 14, 2015 by Bobby Mikulas

The ten minute conversation. We all have them on a daily basis, whether it be in line at the overcrowded coffee shop, with a coworker over the lunch hour, or in the park on a weekend afternoon. So often, we tend to glance over these conversations as social niceties or ways to pass the time. […]
