Having a well-trained staff can make all the difference in ensuring the right skills, mindset, and tools to be confident and excel at the fair.
Have you ever experienced lack of motivation and ownership from your staff? Or little to no alignment from the individual team member all the way to top management?
Trade shows are a significant investment for any company in terms of time, money, and resources, but many professionals actually don’t quite know what the exact outcome of their huge effort is.
And to add to that if you send an untrained or unengaged team to a trade fair, exhibition or event, you just intensify the uncertainty of the guessing game.

It can also make all the difference for the trade show personnel getting the right skills, mindset, and tools to feel confident and excel at their job.

Do your colleagues jump up and down in pure happiness when you pick them for your next trade show or event?
Or does it more go something like this:
… “NO.”
… “Not me, I hate it.”
… “I never know what to say.”
… “I don’t know how to reach out to the guests.”
… “What if they ask about our products, I don’t know enough about them.”
Your guests won’t necessarily remember your text or the nice color on your wall, but the experience you staff provided. And they will associate this experience with your brand and product or services.
Remember, exhibiting is people business.
This is why trade show staff training is the best investment you can do before any show or event. We will help convert the most sceptic colleague into the best ambassador. And give you all our best tips and tricks, so your team can give a performance of a lifetime.
Do you wish you confidently could engage with attendees, map out your team member’s different knowledge areas and how to efficiently plan the customer journey?
This is the perfect course for you, who wants to train your team and host an internal workshop, whether they are first timers or hard-core trade show staffers. The course is invaluable for sales, HR, marketing and even management to secure alignment throughout the organization and to achieve business objectives.
There are several roles to be filled at a trade show booth. The greeter. The product expert. The lead motor. The tech savvy. The presenter. The customer service master. And of course, the booth captain. Each role serves a purpose, that will lead to a more successful outcome.
The booth captain
This person is typically an experienced and knowledgeable member of the team who is tasked with ensuring that all booth staff are properly trained and prepared, the booth is set up and maintained correctly, and that all attendees are engaging with the products or services effectively.
Trade show booth roles and objectives
Play at your staff’s greatest skills and plan from your shared business objectives. If your objective is obtaining 50 new leads, proper training can help your staff to engage with guests, qualify leads, capture their information, and ensure a timely and effective follow-up procedure.
Something that we often get asked: “How do I strike up a conversation? I don’t know how to best engage in meaningful conversations to draw people in”

We are giving you 12 ways you can communicate effectively and initiate conversations, so even the most introvert person can articulate key information and greet new prospects. You can download the guide as a PDF. Once you have purchased the course, the content will be yours!

How do you make sure that business procedures and internal agreements are kept going forward, even if it is not the same staff attending event after event?
