Your trade show booth staff play a crucial role in determining the success of your exhibit. According to the Center for Exhibit Industry Research (CEIR), 80% of what visitors remember is their interaction with the booth staff, and 75% of the effectiveness of a trade show relies on their performance.
While online information is readily available, trade shows offer the unique advantage of face-to-face interaction. This means your staff can turn visitor experiences into positive ones that lead to increased sales. By mastering effective communication skills, they can make each visitor’s experience rewarding.
Visitors attend trade shows to stay updated in their industry. Your staff should be knowledgeable about your products or services, enthusiastic, and capable of handling any situation with professionalism. By anticipating questions and controlling conversations, your team can more effectively engage potential customers.
Key Skills for Trade Show Success
1. Engage and Greet
Establish eye contact, be friendly, and ask open-ended questions (e.g., "What brings you to our booth today?") to initiate dialogue and break the ice.
2. Qualify Visitors
Ask questions to determine if the visitor has purchasing influence, a suitable timeframe, and an adequate budget.
3. Disengage or Demonstrate
Politely end conversations by using techniques such as shaking hands and thanking them, then move on to other visitors. This "pattern interrupt" ensures smooth transitions.
4. Generate Leads
After qualifying a visitor, determine if they’re interested in follow-up contact. Gather their contact information for timely follow-up if they’re a hot lead.
Engaging Groups and Handling Inquiries
Hill recommends techniques for engaging groups:
- Step back or aside to make room for more people.
- Ask the initial guest if it's okay to expand the conversation.
- Update new visitors on the discussion.
If a question is beyond your expertise, escort the visitor to a qualified team member. Politely interrupt ongoing conversations when necessary, ensuring no opportunity is missed.
Training for Trade Show Success
Matt Hill, a trade show trainer with extensive experience worldwide, emphasizes the importance of personal skills training tailored to specific shows. Refresher sessions right before the event reinforce these skills, enhancing visitor experiences and boosting sales.
By equipping your team with these skills and techniques, every visitor interaction becomes an opportunity to enhance your trade show booth’s success.
