TRAINING FOR EXHIBITORS

Trade Show Ready.

From obligation to investment.

Trade shows cost a lot of money, and afterwards often nobody knows what they delivered. I make your presence measurable: clear goals, a team that actively wins leads, and follow-up all the way to the order.

PROACTIVE, NOT PASSIVE

Most booth teams wait.

I have seen it again and again in more than 17 years at trade shows across Europe: the team stands at the booth, waits for visitors and then has long one-to-one conversations. The leads lost this way never show up in any report. With a clear method, the same team wins many times more contacts in the same time.

1

Approach

Engage visitors in the aisle instead of waiting at the booth.

2

Scan

Badge first – the contact is secured.

3

Qualify

Need, timeframe, decision-maker – within minutes.

4

Hand over

Bring in a technical colleague or schedule a call.

5

Next

Contacts, not monologues.

30 min per conversation

≈ 10–16

contacts per person per day

5–7 min per conversation

40–50

contacts per person per day

Three phases – from the first meeting to the order

01 · BEFORE THE SHOW

Goals, meetings, booth

Measurable goals and customer meetings booked in advance. Booth concept from a sales perspective: open, inviting entrance, equipment not up to the edge, a space where visitors stop.

02 · AT THE SHOW

Engage proactively

Win visitors in the aisle, scan the badge, qualify in minutes, hand over details – daily team debriefing.

03 · AFTER THE SHOW

Follow up and measure

Follow-up within 48 hours, every lead assigned in the CRM until the order, evaluation down to revenue per show.

Formats and indicative prices

Final prices – no VAT charged under Section 19 German VAT Act (small business). Travel expenses at cost.
