Get a competitive edge
with trade show staff training

This course is for you, who wants to upskill your booth staff, improve performance and gain a competitive edge.

Jakob Dyrbye will teach you a holistic trade show mindset, how to take control of your own exhibition, and align your team towards common objectives. 

The right mindset, skills and tools to excel

Have you ever experienced lack of motivation and ownership from your trade show 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 if you send an untrained or unengaged team to a trade fair, exhibition or event, you just intensify the uncertainty of the guessing game.

Having a well-trained team can make all the difference in coming home with the [right] leads that can lead to a better and measurable outcome. 

Our online course provides training on how to prepare your staff for trade shows. No matter if they are first timers or experienced trade show staffers.

I rate the course 5 stars.

It has given us an advantageous edge, why I from a competitive standpoint, would not recommend The Trade Show Staff Training Course to others within my own industry.

However, I highly recommend this to individuals in my network and across various sectors,
as I genuinely believe it is valuable for exhibitors.

Your Secret to Success When You Exhibit? Correct! Your Staff.

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.

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 for trade show staff training, so your team can give a performance of a lifetime. 

Trade show staff training is vital for your business to succeed and grow

Bonus resource #1 - 12 icebreakers and conversation starters

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” 

You’re not alone. Approaching people in a trade show or event setting is not your average sales spot. Luckily, there is something that can be done – find your unique angle. 

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! 

To make it easy for you, we’ve made a template that you can download, copy and fill out with your own information! 

Bonus resource #2 - Playbook

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? 

It’s simple. You make a playbook. The playbook serves as a model and guide for planning, execution, and evaluation of the trade fair. It is a comprehensive outline of the strategies, tactics, and procedures to secure a successful trade show or exhibition. 

Our ‘Playbook: How to Plan, Measure and Optimize Event Activities’ contains: 

  • Purpose and Objective Statement 
  • Budget 
  • Booth Design and Setup 
  • Marketing Strategy
  • Staffing Plan
  • Lead Generation and Follow-up
  • Logistics and Operations 
  • Performance Evaluation
