Booth Sales Strategy
Everybody, absolutely everybody, hopes to make a sale at a trade show. Sure, nobody expects it, but that is, after all, what you’re really there to do. It is great to show of your product or service, network, generate sales leads, and all the other nifty stuff you can do at a tradeshow, but what can you do to actually close that sale?
Obviously, it’s best to have some sort of deal or promotion. The best position you can be in is that of offering a new product that is not available anywhere else yet. Still, that is only good if your new product is something people actually want to buy. If right there, at your booth, is the only place someone can buy this great new thing you’re offering, you are likely to make a few sales.
Even if you do not have a new product to offer, a trade show deal or promotion can also be very appealing to potential buyers. Make sure the promotion is solid, offers value, and has a very impressive perceived value.
Make sure your staff is trained to listen to what the visitors are saying, and make sure they can listen to what they are not saying. A potential buyer might drop a few clues that they are interested in buying, but if you have trade show booth staff who is untrained, easily distracted, or apathetic about your business, they are likely to miss very good sales opportunities that well-trained staff would catch.
Of course, to even get anyone interested in your product, you have to get them into your booth to begin with. Make sure your trade show booth is nice looking and eye-catching. Have your staff trained to ask questions of passersby to try to draw them into the booth. Once they get them there, make sure the staff has a plan of action, and also a way to accept payment.
Always, always, follow up on any leads you get at a trade show. Even if they didn’t buy there, they might still, and you do not want to miss out on that opportunity.
