Only your booth staff can manage this critical part of your exhibiting program.  Buyers use trade shows not only to evaluate products and services, but equally important, to evaluate the people behind the brands. If your staff is fully prepared and understands the expectations and needs of attendees and 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, your brand impression and ultimately your return on investment.  Make sure your booth staff are fully prepared to put your best foot forward by viewing this exhibit staff training workshop developed by tradeshow productivity expert Jefferson Davis of Competitive Edge.
