Listen Later

After attending The New York Toy Fair (NYTF) as an exhibitor, you'll definitely need a few days to recover. Your back may ache, your feet may be swollen, and your ego may be bruised. While the wins at NYTF are easy to share with family and friends, and celebrate, the losses we tend to keep to ourselves and not confront. So in today's episode, we walk through how to handle 4 less than perfect scenarios you might have experienced at New York Toy Fair, and how to turn them positive.

This episode gives actionable advice and thoughtful motivation for less than perfect scenarios that you might encounter at ANY trade show. Feeling dejected after a buyer's comments? Learn how to get and use constructive criticism. Didn't land a licensing deal?  Last minute booth went unseen? This episode is full of tips, suggestions, and strategies to help you find the silver lining when your trade show does not go as planned.
