Course Synopsis

Attending a trade show requires a significant investment. Converting the opportunities generated in face-to-face contact with prospects and customers is critical. This course helps attendees develop a strategy and a tactical approach for maximizing the impact and return of a trade show. We provide methods for making quick and meaningful connections. The course enables attendees to convert suspects into prospects and prospects into customers. Attendees sell their products or services in a staged booth to Sales Concepts instructors portraying booth visitors. A specific scenario is developed for each attendee. Attendees handle two booth visits. We video-record the visits. Each attendee then receives feedback. Participants learn effective closing techniques and a follow-up process that ensures long-term success.
