Trade Show Planning: During the Show Part II

Yesterday's post offered tips to maximize your investment in planning before your shows. Today carries that torch a bit further by explaining what should be done during the show.

Again, to satiate my old english teacher, I've only supplied 5 of 10 points to consider DURING the Trade Show to help ensure your success. For those out there curious to know each in a bit more detail plus the remaining five just read the attached article.

1. Set up a booth schedule for your people. You and your people need breaks for lunch and relaxing.

2. Have your workers record all prospect information. Encourage your Trade Show personnel to record everything they can learn about a prospect's needs.

3. Encourage your Trade Show personnel to greet people warmly and smile! The old adage of you never get another chance to make a first impression would come to mind here.

4. Take care of your body, and your body will take care of you.

5. The name’s Bond, … James Bond.Trade Shows can be a great place to do a little checking up on the ol’ competition.
