Ask questions: What other shows have they done? How are they going to market the show? Who are they going to bring in? What kind of advertising tools are they using? Newspapers? Direct mail? TV ads? Radio ads? What is their marketing plan? How much are they spending on marketing? Does the show you are interested in have a dedicated Web site? Is anyone registered or pre-registered to-date? Exhibitors? Attendees?
Focus – don’t try to be everything to everyone
48% of sales people never follow up with a prospect 87% of sales people make a single call or mailing 25% of sales people make a second contact and stop 12% of sales people only make three contacts and stop So if you're like almost half of all sales people and make no more than one follow-up to your prospects... you're LEAVING 98% of your income on the table for someone else to come along and pick up! Even if you go on to a third follow-up and stop... you're STILL losing 90%!
Don’t believe that one-message-fits-all Contacts need to know what benefits of your product / service work for them
