How to approach commercial prospecting at Control 2027
Define day by day objectives and segment target contacts by the solutions you sell. Book meetings in advance with technical buyers and prepare concise demonstrations that prove traceability and cycle time gains. Use standardized intake forms at the stand to capture leads and assign follow up responsibilities with clear deadlines.
Operationally, allocate technical staff to run live demos that show integration with production cells or robotic systems. If you offer CAQ or IoT metrology solutions prepare short case studies and performance figures that can be shown in under ten minutes.
Key figures from recent editions
