On Friday, April 11, the CEO class participated in the Preview Trade Show held at Clay County Hospital. This event served as a valuable warm-up for the upcoming full trade show, giving students the chance to practice their pitches, display their products, and interact with the public.
Our small business owners made the most of every encounter, using the opportunity to engage with customers, make sales, and gather feedback. Several students reflected on the importance of preparation and adaptability—highlighting lessons such as bringing extra supplies, offering giveaways or interactive activities to draw people in, and ensuring a strong variety of products.
For many, this was their first experience at a trade show, and it proved to be both a learning experience and a confidence booster. Takeaways included improving presentation, refining their sales pitch, and planning ahead for future events. Overall, the day was a success, filled with great conversations, important insights, and moments of pride as these young professionals showcased their hard work and entrepreneurial efforts.
Thank you to the team at Clay County Hospital and Medical Clinics for hosting our event!
🎇🎇 Join us for our full Trade Show on Wednesday, April 30 at New Beginnings Church in Flora! 🎇 🎇
