How to prepare commercial prospecting for the fair
-
Prioritise target exhibitors. Use the floorplan and the exhibitor list to identify companies whose portfolio connects with your technical and commercial proposal.
-
Schedule meetings in advance. Contact commercial managers by email and propose specific time slots during the two days.
-
Bring clear technical documentation. Data sheets, controlled samples and application cases facilitate conversations with technical teams and procurement.
-
Plan questions about recyclability and specifications. Focus on measurable parameters and compatibility with compounding processes or recycling lines.
-
Define a follow-up plan. Record contacts by priority and set deadlines to send technical proposals or samples after the fair.
Closing and resources
