Not just to be able to communicate in a relaxed manner with those around you, but to deliver the confidence required in regards to your brand or service that gains peoples interest.
– Bring plenty business cards, we are expecting hundreds of attendees: Simple tools such as business cards should be considered before attending the event. You want to make sure you have plenty of business cards. Not only pack your card holder full of them, include extra in your car, which you can resort to should you run out.
– Listen: When at the event, listen to those you are speaking with. Do not control the conversation, but listen for “hot buttons” which will allow you to effectively relay your message and gain the persons interest. Coming off as “salesy” will have the person turning the other check. Be natural and allow the other person to control the majority of the conversation.
– Follow Up right after the expo: Lastly, always remember to follow up. Whether you send a simple email, a note in the mail or contact the prospect through a telephone call, follow up is vital.
