Why the fuck are people here embarrassed to do business?
I prefer to do business with people I like and I find it dismal that supposed businesspeople on this board and others act like admitting what their business is and trying to do some is somehow shameful. This is what lets total scammers pretend that they also have big biz interests and get integrated enough in the community to steal. Plus I'm proud of my job.
If I go to a trade show, it is wonderful if I meet people I can be friends with, but a trade show is for the purpose of doing business. So often someone will buy me a zillion dollar meal and then act like it is weird when I bring up ideas I have for sending them traffic. Or people who are supposedly web professionals will act like it is taboo to mention that a particular traffic source they have would probably have success upselling a particular product. WTF?
