Tweetable Quotes“I don't think it's ever a waste of time or a wasted opportunity, regardless of where it could be. We've made so many connections (at Indoor AgCon) that I was not expecting, and it's just about finding like minded people on the same floor right. That you never know what doors it can open up. So, honestly, the more trade shows we go to, I feel like the more opportunities rise.”“And it's super cool because rather than doing the outbound calls, we're getting a lot of inbound requests from restaurant owners saying that we've seen this in television, we've seen this in these restaurants. We want to have the exact same thing, and everyone want to spend more money on herbs. This is fantastic.”Resources MentionedAlberto's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alberto-aguilar-a2138aa4/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/plantaform/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/PlantaformCA Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/plantaform YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@plantaform Website: https://plantaform.com/ Connect With UsVFP - LinkedIn - a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/verticalfarmingpodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer"...
