Trade Show Tips – Make sales and get more leads at your next show by using these simple techniques. Get out from behind the trade show table and connect with people! I am always amazed when I go to trade shows or boutiques or art fairs and see people that are sitting or standing behind the table at the booth (or texting on their cool new cell phone). Make sure to stand in front of the booth or table, not behind it and engage people. In fact, if there are any chairs behind the booth, get rid of them. That way you won’t be tempted to sit on your anatomy. Always bring comfortable shoes to wear during the event. These are simple trade show tips that will help you make sales and get more leads at your next event. You can engage people immediately by giving them a sincere compliment. It can be anything. That gets their walls down. After you give them a compliment, use this effective bridge, “By the way”, have you seen our new product/service? Or have you signed up for the free raffle? People love to talk about themselves-so get them talking and get that lead or make that sale. Remember-people buy from people. Come to the next to learn more great trade show tips.
