Practical tactics for B2B prospecting at the show
-
Target a short list of exhibitors. Identify 10 to 15 companies whose products match your pipeline and rank them by purchase phase.
-
Prepare concise technical briefs. Bring a one-page sheet or a short slide summarising product performance, tolerances and typical applications to speed initial conversations.
-
Book meeting slots in advance. Request 20-minute meetings on stand and cluster visits by hall to reduce transit time between Halls 9, 10 and 11.
-
Capture commitment and next steps. After each meeting note the customer need, your proposal and a clear follow-up action with a deadline to convert interest into business.
