Attending meetups and conferences – does it help with sales?
I’ve attended a few conferences and meetups over the past two years – always for a different purpose.
Sometimes it was just
1. to socialise 😅, other times
2. to interview guests,
3. find PR or
4. sell products.
I have to say that the last item on this list was the least fulfilling – we recruited a few trial users, but there were minimal paying customers.
How do you approach similar events?
What positive results have you seen from it?
[If you have any recommendations for meetups or conferences where people are more open to buying a product, I’d be grateful if you could share them.]

Not from my experience. I’ve found that social media is a much better and more effective channel for engaging with customers. It’s more direct, dynamic, and offers instant feedback. But at the end of the day, sales should fall under the responsibility of the sales department. That’s their area of expertise, and I really have nothing to do with it. It’s like how I’ve realized it makes much more sense to use ukwritings.com/dissertation-services for help with my dissertation instead of spending endless hours stressing over it. It’s all about trusting the right people who are skilled in specific areas, so I can focus on other tasks and save my energy for what truly matters. Just like delegating the responsibility of sales, outsourcing my dissertation work to professionals takes the pressure off and lets me breathe a little easier.
