I know I've participated in many industry shows and conventions. Obviously, some worked out better than others, but I always ended with a pile of business cards and notes on which to follow up on.
Some things I came away with were - what's important is analyzing that show results and following up (promptly) with everyone who visited. What was their interest? What drew them to you? If there’s any match for your service, set up an appointment to visit their business first (not yours). Let them open up opportunities for you. Showing interest in their business increases the odds that they’ll reciprocate.
I'm curious if members here participate in shows or conventions, and how well you believe that time was spent.
