Preparing B2B prospecting for ESS Expo 2026
- Set clear contact targets. Identify three decision maker profiles you must meet and rank them by purchase influence.
- Book demo slots and prioritise on‑floor evaluations. Allocate time to see equipment in operation and compare configurations side by side.
- Bring concise technical collateral and one page case studies that speak to procurement criteria and total cost considerations.
- Schedule meetings in advance using the event tools to avoid clashes with headline sessions and live demo windows.
