Big show? Big booth? Need a big ROI?
Train your exhibit staff.
Most companies don’t train their exhibit staffs – even for their most important trade shows.
It’s looked at as unnecessary or too expensive. And exhibit staffs don’t think they need any training. Pleading for good behavior from an event manager is often all the training they get.
The consequence? Most trade shows do not yield the maximum value to exhibitors because exhibit staffs are not given the training and support that them to excell.
Our exhibit staff training and coaching will get the maximum value out of your trade shows. It’s totally customized and relevant to your company, your trade show, your industry.
For 27 years we have helped hundreds of companies:
- Increase their qualified leads by an average of 70%.
- Shorten sales cycles.
- Have more efficient, effective, and professional exhibit staffs

Role Playing (additional 60 minutes following workshop)
Custom role-plays are designed to reinforce key trade show selling skills. In groups of three, exhibit staff will play the roles of a visitor, a staff person, and an observer. The roles rotate for every scenario (we usually design six different role-plays) so that everyone plays each role twice. Key skill areas that are reinforced through these role-plays include greeting, questioning and qualifying, dismissing, and ending the conversation.
