How to Make Your Booth Staff a Competitive Advantage

Trade shows are about getting face-to-face contact with customers, prospects, and potential hires. And only your booth staff can manage this critical part of your exhibiting program. Earth and space scientists use trade shows not only to learn and evaluate products, services, and solutions, but equally important, to evaluate the people behind the brands. If your staff is fully prepared and understands the unique dynamics of communicating in the challenging exhibiting environment, they will make a huge difference in the quality of your interactions, quality of your leads, and your brand impression and return on investment. Make sure your booth staff are fully prepared to put your best foot forward by registering for this timely and complimentary exhibit staff training workshop developed by tradeshow productivity expert Jefferson Davis of Competitive Edge.
