Three Key Questions when Selecting Booth Staff

by Joyce McKee on January 19, 2012

Yesterday, I received a note from Keith Reznick, President of Creative Training Solutions, about my earlier blog post which included a video by Francis Friedman of Time & Place Strategies, discussing bringing A- Team to your trade show booth.  In his correspondence, he was applauding Francis for his straight forward conversation about the vital importance of who is in the booth.  Then he shared a video response to that post which you can watch it below.

It is a power pack three minutes where he provides a great analogy for the need to have your booth personnel trained and shares the critical three questions.  Listen in:

Keith’s Three Questions

  1. Tell me about your company?
  2. What’s new?
  3. Why would we pick your company from all of the other exhibitors here at the show?

What comments do you for me, Keith or Francis?  I look forward to our dialogue on this critical topic.

Can I Help You? – a Poor Opening Line

February 7, 2011

My field reporters at the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) have given me an initial assessment of the opening lines by the booth staffers and I am disappointed in my fellow exhibitors.  Now these fellows are on the show floor today and maybe they will have a better report. Here is what they experienced walking [...]
