The Bridge Across The Trade Show Gap

Written by: Jonathan

Yesterday I pointed to the invisible gap that makes sure 40% of new exhibitors never return: it's the belief that attendees will automatically stop by the booth to start conversations. What's the answer? If you're an exhibitor, you have to start those conversations yourself! How do you do that? Most of the time, the best […]

The Invisible Trade Show Gap

Written by: Jonathan

A recent statistic said that 40% of companies that exhibit at a trade show for the first time, don't come back. That really surprised me since I've seen client after client land millions of dollars in new business from show after show. So, why would nearly half of all new exhibitors decide not to show […]

Watch Me Work Through Some Trust Issues
