Successful at Trade Fairs?

Inhouse-Trade Fair Training/Coaching: Successful at Trade Fairs

The Structured Fair Talk


How to Maintain Structure and Visitor Focus in Professional Trade Fair Dialogues
The Trade Fair Team that Makes the Difference

The arrival of the Internet has changed the primary purpose of the trade fair. Instead of being a mere venue for the presentation of new products or services, the trade fair has become a communications platform to enhance the corporate image. This new purpose requires each member of the trade fair team to be fully aware of their respective roles: in approaching the visitor on the booth, in leaving a positive impression with potential customers, in securing new contracts, and in making the most effective use of their time.

Due to their open and changing nature trade fairs are exceptional venues that make customer focus highly challenging. It is often difficult to keep up the professional atmosphere on the booth at times of low visitor frequency. Alternatively, when visitors crowd the booth, the difficulty lies in handling the visitor flow smoothly, making sure that each customer is served professionally. The bristling atmosphere, the ambient noise level, visitors and colleagues brushing by or zooming in from all directions: these factors and many more make customer focus a real challenge.

To provide each visitor with a positive experience under trade fair conditions, the team on duty will need to communicate effectively. In the end, the fair team determines the overall impression each visitor takes home from the booth – from the time visitors first notice the booth in the fair hall to the time they leave the booth. If the overall impression is positive, the potential for future business has been increased.

Trade fair teams that have received our hands-on training course understand how to use their time and energy at the fair efficiently and effectively. The highly motivated team approaches visitors in a competent manner and initiates the round of introduction professionally. It routinely analyses visitor demand and potential by asking the right questions. The team understands how to make best use of their time and also how to end a conversation politely. They make sure that prospective customers are provided with a good impression of the beneficial nature of the product or service, and that they have a clear vision of the next steps to come.

Our in-house fair training provides the fair team with a well-structured framework for successful interaction with fair visitors to the booth. They are a valuable resource for trade fair etiquette and offer guidelines on competent appearance and behaviour. Participants will be shown strategies for dealing with and defusing difficult situations. Examples from our trade fair analysis will be used to illustrate the consequence of certain behaviours in order to increase the overall motivation and alertness of the fair team.
