My phone also wasn’t connected to any of the bizcon stuff, I tend to avoid public Wi-Fi as well
Bizcon says in their privacy policy they don’t sell attendees data, not clear about exhibitors
It’s not just Bizcon its all of the trade shows. To be clear, we do not get the offers for contact lists from the show organizers directly. We get emails from multiple companies that sell the lists for each show. Again, I have no idea if any of these lists contain real information, just that they are constantly being offered to the manufacturing community.
Here’s an email from earlier this week:
"Dear Exhibitor ,
NECANN’s NJ Cannabis Convention 2024, Pre-registered Attendee list is available now to fulfill your company’s promotional efforts.
Could you let me know if you want to receive the attendees list by email?"
We are not an exhibitor at NeCann, this shit is a constant nowadays.

I bet @Bret_HoneyGold has all the best contact list, he probably has my cell number as well.
Yes MC has the best b2b sales team in the country.
Congrats you made the list.

Do you do sample sizes of THC-C8? (I think its labeled THCJD)
Try using multiple phones. I have one which I give the number out but it sends all my calls straight to voicemail that isn’t set up and I never check the messages.
What a tone deaf response. I know most companies struggle to find competent sales people, but some of that focus needs to shift to PR & communications at some point.
What metric is being used for comparison?
Everything I’m seeing above exchange looks like a loss:
-
Quality lead?: No. This prospect is with a licensed cannabis lab out of Washington State. Additionally, “the best sales team in the country” contacted someone who has a predisposition to expose shitty companies in any space on top of having a history of legal troubles stemming from hemp companies to begin with. Maybe it was lucky that it was a guy who would sooner create a website & some associated social media accounts compared to some of the more lawyer-happy folks around here.
-
Close?: I could be wrong, but I doubt @pdxcanna created this post & the back half of that text exchange with Brittany up there concludes with him ordering isolate & some liters.
-
Positive brand image?: You’re not always going to get a sale, but it’s about first impressions, not being obtrusive & leaving the door open for the future. This is a dumb fucking way to work through your funnel if your rep can’t even communicate anything less nebulous than “a lead generation team” when a prospect is clearly asking why & how they’re being contacted. You haven’t identified the prospect’s problem- you are the problem.
I can’t imagine many other industries where a company would use a scenario like this to have one of their people post a public statement that exudes so much undeserving bravado.
Or is this going to be some @WKUCONSULTING style of fuckery where you say it wasn’t your intent to disingenuously contact people, you just wanted to show us that we should be more protective of our data or it could land in the hands of bad actors?
You guys would have better results sponsoring five OnlyFans models. Please let me know where to send my resume so I can keep the best sales team in the country from having to come on here to

I’d like to highlight this comment again…… 
Talk about deflection. lol.
Honestly as a business owner this is simple as fuck… I dont understand what a company or owner has to gain by not disclosing where their leads came from or how they collect or use the data collected…

The point is he doesn’t give out his info and neither do a lot of us. I haven’t wanted to carry two phones for well north of a decade now
The question is, wheres the data leak.

I would like to reiterate what @dapperdabman said and say you have a fucking awful lead generation team if they thought including me to sell ‘hemp’ to was a bright idea

I always have at least two phones, one so I can watch the fights and another to live bet and use social media.

I’m bitching about someone in this community selling the personal data of historically privacy minded folks, and refusing to disclose it

Well there’s his email redacted name and position. Other data ain’t too hard to find either with the email he provided in public on a thread.
This is an example of data disclosure.
Doesn’t feel great on the other end huh.
The best sales team is the one who can track down all the private numbers
I bet he knows where you live too.
