Practical B2B prospecting advice for exhibitors
For training providers planning to attend, focus on materials that answer admission and application questions succinctly. Actionable steps:
- Prepare a one-page guide on admission criteria and Parcoursup steps.
- Schedule short 10 to 15 minute presentations for visiting school groups.
- Use a digital lead capture form to register interest in internships and work-study offers.
- Align communications to appear in the conference program and on the venue plan.
These measures streamline interactions with prospective students and institutional visitors.
