“Maximize Results: Exhibiting Skills”

This workshop provides exhibitors with practical techniques for building qualified traffic and effectively interacting with show attendees. It also shows how to effectively follow-up, convert more leads to sales, and measure your exhibiting return on investment. This session provides CADCA's exhibitors' booth staffs with the focus, motivation and skills necessary to effectively interact with booth visitors. It presents a four-step in-booth interaction process that has demonstrated time after time improvements in the quality of visitor interactions and increases in lead quality and sales. One exhibitor who participated in this seminar, for example, saw a 50% increase in leads. Those kinds of results are the norm, rather than the exception.

Why Exhibit?

  •  Exhibitions are the #1 source for attendees who make final purchasing  decisions.

  •  Exhibition leads cost 56% less to close than that of a field sales call.

  •  Exhibitors reach unknown prospects, uncover unknown buying  influences.

  •  Exhibitions are used 87% more by companies in the selling process  than business-to-business advertising, direct/field sales, direct mail or  public relations.
