boothmanship – the art of connecting at trade shows 

Conventional sales training has very little positive effect on the people manning your trade show booth or exhibit because at a trade show the clients come to you: not the other way around. And most of the time they want to talk to experts as well as sales people. So it can be tough out there.

On the surface trade shows can appear fun and entertaining but, beneath the surface, the environment can be hostile, the competition fierce – and you quickly find that every word and every second counts.

That’s why sometimes your “Boothers” need a little help.
