How to prepare B2B prospecting at the fair
- Select target exhibitors before the event. Review the directory to prioritize heating manufacturers, photovoltaic integrators and sustainability consultancies.
- Schedule meetings with 20 to 30 minute windows. Bring technical datasheets and compact project case studies that allow for quick conversations and operational decisions.
- Prepare brief demonstrations. A small prototype, an energy-saving simulation or a cost comparison speeds up the interlocutor’s decision.
- Define follow-up criteria. Classify contacts by level of interest and set a call 7 to 10 days after the fair to convert prospects into opportunities.
