Dolores Hirschmann, FRACTIONAL CMO’s Post

Planning and Preparation....take the time to do it right. On my drive in today I listed to two podcasts, and the topic of planning and preparation were topics in both. (Message from above perhaps?!!) It got me thinking...this context was for a sales call, but in my world of #tradeshows and #lieveevents...the planning and the prep are a HUGE component for success as well. I included the picture of the RATIONAL AG booth below because they do some of the best pre-show and at-show work that we have ever seen. This was right before the start of the National Restaurant Association show from only 2 weeks ago. If you are looking to up your exhibition game...here are some quick tips for your pre-show and on-floor prep that will help lead to better ROI and more success! Know Your Audience: Tailor your booth to match attendee interests. If you know their challenges and needs, you can speak directly to them which will greatly increase your chances for fruitful conversations! Set Goals: Define clear objectives for measurable success. If you just plan to show up and wing it, you're doing yourself and your potential visitors a disservice. If you fail to plan, your plan will fail. Budget Wisely: Allocate funds for all aspects. Be realistic about what it will take to get the job done correctly. Exhibiting is not an inexpensive proposition, but if you prepare and execute well, the ROI can be fantastic. If you cut corners on budgeting, it will show. Engaging Booth Design: Stand out with a visually appealing, interactive space. It used to be enough to have a well designed booth to get people to stop. Now, this is just a starting point....you need an engaging experience to make an impression and remain memorable post show. Prep Your Team: Train staff on product knowledge and attendee engagement. Not everyone understands how to engage people and create good conversations with great questions to ask. Don't skid this step...it will pay big dividends! Plan strategically. Execute energetically. Follow up for the best ROI. Thanks to Timothy Coghill, MA, PMP. Michael Cygan and Jackie Cole to name just a few of the pros on the RATIONAL US team! #TradeshowSuccess #EventMarketing"

This is your chance to prove that you're the real deal, that you actually know what you're doing when others falter. 😮 Most financial advisors work tirelessly to deliver exceptional service to their clients and distinguish themselves from the competition. 😮 As a coach, I interact with advisors daily, and having been in the field myself, I understand firsthand the challenges they face. The unfortunate reality is that many advisors unknowingly blend in with the crowd. Your marketing strategies, appointment processes, and sales pitches often echo what prospects have heard from the last few advisors they've met. It's no wonder you encounter numerous appointments that fail to convert. 🔥 Advisor's Edge is a transformative program that breaks this cycle. With Advisor's Edge, you can elevate yourself head and shoulders above the rest. It's time to stand out and make a lasting impression on your clients. 😎 Send me a PM ASAP to secure one of the remaining seats! We've got less than 10 spots left, and once they're gone, they're gone!

👍🗣️ SUCCESS AS A PUBLIC SPEAKER 🔗 https://lnkd.in/ga3m_Nj8 📌 George Stroumboulis sits down with Fotini Iconomopoulos on the Invigorate Your Business with George Stroumboulis Podcast to talk about the art of negotiating, how to communicate better, selling over 10,000 copies of her book and advice on how to be a better advocate for yourself at work and in your personal life. Stream on Spotify, YouTube and Apple. 🗣 So when you're presenting to a group, how do you measure success? When you're done your 60 minute keynote, that interaction, how do you know that it was a successful event? Like are there KPIs? Is it feedback? Is it a spike in your responses? What is it? When it comes to the speaking, the biggest piece of feedback I have is stage side leads. So last year I did a gig in Toronto with 3000 people in the audience 3000. Is that the largest crowd you've ever presented to? I think so. If not, it's close. I'm pretty sure it's the largest, so that was at the convention center. There's not a lot of rooms that fit that many people. The next stage is auditoriums. So that is a measure of success in that you know they. When I ask people how did you find out about me? Oh, we saw you. A friend of ours was in that audience. So when word of mouth spreads like that from one event, you know it was a home run and so one of the big measures of stage side leads. But even before that, it is what it looks on the faces. How many people are waiting to talk to you after it's done? And not everybody wants to talk to you because sometimes they're rushing off to something else. Sometimes I was just told yesterday you're so approachable, which is lovely for me to hear. 🎙️ Follow 'Invigorate Your Business' for more updates. We appreciate the support by commenting, liking and sharing with your network. 🙏 #fotini #iconomopoulos #negotiator #success #speaker
