Course Description
This Master Class is for sales managers, sales directors, salespeople and anybody else who is involved in the planning and manning of the trade exhibition stand.
Whether you are a small, medium-sized or large business, there is still nothing to compare with a stand at a trade exhibition for launching a business and it’s products or services towards new customers, new contracts and new markets – just so long as the stand is properly designed and positioned and the stand staff that are on exhibition ‘duty’ are trained and briefed to perform effectively and the enquires and/or orders are logged and followed up efficiently.
90% of businesses that exhibit at trade shows still pour most of their exhibition budget straight down the drain.
The Master Class highlights the pitfalls which face all exhibitors and illustrates the most crucial how-to’s of both stand planning and stand management in order to maximise the ROI from the event. It deals with the special problems of selling from the exhibition stand and the opportunities that this unique “territory” can bring and demonstrates how to stay one step ahead of the competition through ‘effective’ stand management.
