PayPal for B2B: Fees and Risks
Post-show follow-up within 24 hours. First email thanks and recaps with a photo. Second email one week later adds requested information. Third email two weeks later includes pricing. Three touches convert the lead.
Competitors gathering intelligence at your booth is inevitable. Be warm but guard core information: formulations, supplier sources, price floors. Discuss trends freely but stay alert with commercially sensitive details.
The 30 days before a show are golden preparation time. List existing clients to invite. Promote your participation on social media. Prepare products, brochures, business cards, and gifts. Book booth design early.
Trade show conversations need rhythm. First, understand the visitor and their needs (2-3 min). Then present solutions (5-7 min). Finally, agree on next steps. A quality 10-minute chat beats a 30-minute unfocused one.
