If your strategy starts at the booth, it’s already too late.
ROI isn’t decided at the booth.
It’s decided 2 weeks before the doors open.
Here’s what serious exhibitors do differently.
Step 1 — Two Weeks Before
Review the exhibitor list
Select 15–20 priority targets
Identify decision-makers on LinkedIn
Reach out before the event
If you secure just 5 pre-arranged meetings, everything changes.
You’re no longer networking.
You’re executing.
Step 2 — During the Fair
Your goal is NOT business cards.
Your goal is agreement on the next step.
Ask these questions:
"Who would be responsible for a PoC?"
"How is purchasing decided in your company?"
"Would you be available for an online meeting next week?"
100 business cards mean visibility.
5 clearly defined next steps mean pipeline.
In the next post, I’ll show you where 90% of companies slow down and
where contracts are actually won.
