Commercial prospecting advice for exhibitors and startups
Approach prospecting with a short list and a follow-up plan. Practical steps:
- Build a prioritized target list of investors and corporate leads and block meeting windows by priority.
- Prepare a three-variant pitch: for investors, for corporate buyers and for technology partners.
- Log each interaction with key takeaways and next steps. Assign dates and owners for follow-ups.
- Have concise digital collateral ready for quick sharing after meetings.
These measures cut friction during the event and increase the likelihood of converting meetings into pilots or investments.
