Today was my lucky day. Sure felt like everything was going my way. It was the Business-to-Business Trade Show hosted by 3 chambers of commerce. I was lucky because I won a $25 gas card from The Plumbing Source — Thanks to Terri, Debbie and Greg!
And I won an American Flag from the League of Women Voters of Portage County!
I already put the flag up and I’ve only been home an hour from the show.
Also attended two great workshops.
Brad Kleinman offered a social media marketing workshop and made several key points:
- “Social media is all about building relationships, not selling”
- “More than 500,000 new Facebook users every day… most are baby boomers. Everyone else is already on.”
- Commit to do one thing tomorrow to take that first step. Have an accountability-buddy. (That’s you Ned Parks and Kordell Norton!)
Deborah Chaddock Brown did a wonderful Sales Pep Rally type speech for all the exhibitors before the trade show started and also gave us some great Back to Basics marketing tips.
All the way around a good show and all in just 4 hours! Wow. Can’t wait for tomorrow!!

Chris - congrats on your positive experience at the B2B. It is a wonderful opportunity for businesses to connect with other leaders in the business world - make connections, listen to needs, find solutions and learn something new. I’m glad you liked my presentation. I’m not surprised you enjoyed what Brad had to say - everytime I hear him speak I learn something new about marketing online and social media. And his energy is infectious!
Congrats to all those who participated and attended the B2B in Solon.
