Practical advice for B2B prospecting at Intermot 2027
For teams focused on commercial development, preparation is decisive. Concrete steps:
- Map target distributors and workshop chains from the exhibitor directory and request meetings in advance.
- Prepare technical briefs and tailored commercial offers for buyers, aftersales and retail partners.

These steps increase the chance that stand visits translate into actionable business meetings during the three days.
