Practical prospecting tactics for MSV 2026
Set daily objectives and preselect exhibitors from the official list. Target stands that run live demos to assess integration time and compatibility with existing operations. Bring concise technical collateral and links to case studies so potential clients can judge real applications. Book meetings in advance when possible and leave slots for impromptu visits to exhibitors with complementary offers.
In technical discussions, ask about integration requirements, aftersales support and data formats for automation. Procurement managers should focus on total cost of ownership and lead times. Engineering teams should request references and plant or remote demonstrations.
