When new clients get in touch about increasing their ROI, we have a few meetings to discuss the best ways to work together. During our first call, I send over a questionnaire which helps us develop a strategy to build crowds and capture as many qualified leads as possible. The answers to these questions form the foundation of our success.

You’ll notice that the questionnaire includes questions about your company, your objectives, and the products in your booth. Not only does this help us set clear goals, it gives me the information I need to create a custom presentation that highlights your company and products. This also let’s me be educated when I talk with customers as they enter the booth. Click here to watch how I interact with customers.

You will find the questionnaire below. Feel free to email me the answers or be prepared to discuss them when we hop on a call. Click here to download a PDF version of the pre-trade show questionnaire.
