TRADE FAIR TRAINING – CUSTOMER ENTHUSIASM

Move and inspire new and existing customers and by doing so, increase revenue and customer loyalty

Starting position: Trade fair and Trade fair training

• Trade fair business is shaped by dynamic changes, digitalisation and global competition. It’s an increasing challenge to get customers to visit trade fairs, a real USP, to offer differentiation and useful experiences for the customer, while achieving the goals of the trade fair. Now: all information is available online at any  time, videos, pictures, statistics and reviews make purchasing easier and a visit to a trade fair unnecessary.
• Because of that, sales people at trade fairs are faced with new situations: customers are well informed, can easily compare suppliers, and have higher expectation of customer service.
• Many suppliers react to that with a ‘bigger, technically advanced, more expensive’ exhibition stand. Those trade fair  ‘cathedrals’ grow to the sky or use an enormous chunk of trade fair area. The cost/effect ratio is questionable and rarely achieves the desired goals. In order to cut costs, many trade fairs are happening less frequently.
• Every trade fair customer knows of some overwhelmed, half heartily acting, badly motivated, stressed trade fair adviser and of their ‘scare-customers-away-program’. The opportunity, of a personal meeting and the emotional experience with a well motivated and competent trade fair team, is totally missed. Only there, it would be possible to work out an advantage, real differentiation and lasting distinction to the competition. Every (purchase-) decision is an emotional decision, confirmed with rational arguments. But how could a sales person ‘light a fire’ without having a ‘spark’ in him/herself?!
