’ve got one thing to say to exhibitors at KBB… “AMPLIFICATION!”. Honestly, it’s as if companies seek out the most softly spoken member of
staff they have and then force them to address 15 journalists, all forced to crane their necks and put their lip-reading skills to the test while being whispered to across a busy trade show. Can you tell I’m angry? But seriously… the entire industry has travelled to Birmingham to hear
about your products. BE LOUD – BE PROUD. Hats off to the likes of InSinkErator; they hadmultiple speakers, ALL with microphones and ALL audible. I won’t name and shame the various companies who fell foul of librarian syndrome, but it was sad to leave a ‘press conference’ none the wiser. Anyway, I thought KBB was fab (apart from whisper-gate) so well done
and thank you. Enjoy the issue. I’m off to calm down.
TruBlue makes pricing and selling for KBB businesses easier with advanced tools and enriched, up-to-date product data, backed by award-winning support.
