Someone from Tandem keeps turning up at our place without any prior appointment. Our college is a new building, all equipment is just over a year old...... stop wasting your time and open one's eyes.
take a leaf out of c-p-ltd get a good rep on here, don't bother cold calling people we hate it phone or in person. instead sponsor great sites like this and get to know people on the forums, when people need something give them a shout. perhaps do some showcase events (during holidays) when techis like us can get away from their schools and do some networking/learn about something different.
