B2B prospecting tactics for Confex
Concrete actions to convert encounters into leads:
- Build a target list from the exhibitor directory and assign call priorities before arrival.
- Structure demos at 10 minutes to respect the pace of the show and maximise the number of contacts.
- Prepare digital collateral for instant follow-up. A concise one-page proposal sent immediately after a meeting increases conversion chances.
- Define clear next steps for each contact: pilot, quote or follow-up meeting.
- Filter prospects by budget where possible. The event cites that 68% of attendees hold budgets above £200,000 which helps prioritise outreach.
These measures reduce friction and accelerate commercial decisions during and after the event.
