Tradeshows - "7 Mighty Moves" to WIN More Leads - Tip 2
Tip #2 to WIN a lot more Business at Trade Shows:
Get Clarity on Who Your Ideal Profitable Client is!
Who is your ideal profitable client?
Who is a fabulous client that you would really like to meet?

> Send them something fun, something relevant to start the trust-building earlier on. This may have nothing to do with business. Thread carefully - you will need to research their social media channels to know what is of interest to them.

The biggest frustrations that I'm hearing from salespeople right now are these:
- Number one, I just really want to pin down the right people, how do I pin them down Ciara? It is prospecting headache #1.
- The second one is, just need to get them at the right time, and then I'll be able to sell to them.
- And the third one is, how do I create better conversations where I don't feel "salesy". You know that feeling of really building that strategic relationship with the client, which is what is so important in the B2B world right now.
So if you're experiencing these frustrations, or if you're hearing them from your team, this is what is happening.
The client isn't making a link between the value that you/ your business or your team bring to the table....
