Go round the stands and ask for the name of the person responsible for purchasing whatever products or services you offer. Don’t forget to take a business card from the person you engaged with. When you make the call you can open with “…… your colleague XXXXXX suggested I call you regarding …..”

Do not ignore any competitors that are exhibiting. Be friendly and ask how it is working for them – what in particular. You may well be surprised how much information they are willing to part with.

I was at a BNI meeting the other day & a member gave a list of the Expos/Trade Shows coming up over the next few months in Auckland. There were 13 on the list through to August. All those networking opportunities!
His flyer was headed up “Who Do You Know Who…?”
