Trade shows can either grow your business… or waste your money.
Most contractors show up without a plan and leave disappointed.
In this episode, Dominic Rubino sits down with trade show expert Jeff Dahler (30+ years experience) to break down how to actually WIN at trade shows.
If you’re a cabinet shop owner, remodeler, or contractor, this is for you.
🔧 What You’ll Learn:
- How to know if a trade show is worth the cost
- The difference between “being there” vs “having a presence”
- How to stand out in 3–5 seconds
- Why most booths fail (and how to fix it)
