Surefire tips that will help you get the most out of the RE Expo -- or any Expo for that matter!


OK Uomo Nike Air VaporMax Plus Nere Hyper Blu Scontate , so you're finally at the Expo and you're ready to kick butt and take names - no pun intended. Here's what you need to know and do to make your exhibit successful.


Be Prepared
The classic boy scouts motto still holds true to this very day. Often, you'll find that a little preparation beforehand can mean a huge difference in your desired results in the long run.


Take a moment to think of the things you're going to need in order to be successful. This should not be complex. Start by simply asking yourself what you can do in order to better help your customer. By focusing on your customer, you'll be better able to come up with simple solutions to your needs.


Also, think about how many people you'll need there with you in order to accomplish your mission. You can never have too much help.


Other things to consider will be what kind of information to take for your prospects and how much. Like with help, you can never have too much. Oh, and don't forget to bring plenty of pens!


One last thing -- come mentally prepared as well. Be sure to bring a good and positive attitude with you. The results you get at the Expo can be greatly influenced by your attitude. Remember Nike Air VaporMax Flyknit Nere Scontate , just like Napoleon Hill said, "thoughts are things". Think success and you'll have success.


Set Goals
Sounds simple enough, but you'll be surprised just how many people don't do this. Having goals in mind will greatly increase your chances of success.


The RE Expo is a venue for you to apply your craft just as you do in your normal business setting. If you have goals or quotas you have to meet in your business, it shouldn't be any different at the Expo.


Break down your goals into event duration target goals (2 days for the RE Expo), daily target goals, and hourly target goals. For example Nike Vapormax Flyknit Pure Platinum Grigie Scontate , your event duration target goal may be obtaining 300 leads. Take this 300 and divide it by the number of days in the event. In this example we'll use 2, which is the number of days the Real Estate Wealth Expo runs. You now have 150 leads each day. Now break down the 150 by the number of hours the event runs for one day (usually 8 - 10 hours).


Your final tally is roughly 15-19 leads per hour. Thus, in order to meet your target event goal of 300 leads, you should be signing up about 15 to 19 leads per hour. This is pretty conservative when you take the amount of people that actually go to the Real Estate Expo -- 46,000 in 2005 for LA alone. Do this and you'll outperform your competition by leaps and bounds.


Get Creative
Get creative to attract leads. Get creative to keep y-o-u on their minds. You don't have to follow the crowd. Everyone gives away free pens with their company's name and logo.

Bring as Many People as You Need to Help You
You'll get much more accomplished if you have the right amount of people with you at the Expo. How many people you need depends on the size of your booth and what you are trying to accomplish at the Expo.


Remember that you have to eat and take restroom breaks. If you're a smoker Uomo Nike Air Vapormax Flyknit Olive Verde Scontate , you'll probably want a stogie break too. In addition to this, you have to prospect, answer questions, give demos, take contact information, etc.


There is no magic number as to how many people you may need to help Uomo Nike Air Vapormax 2018 Triple Nere Scontate , but if you take the aforementioned into consideration, you'll come up with a number that'll both help you accomplish your goals and is also easy to manage. As a general rule, err on the side of safety. It's always better to bring one person too many as opposed to one too few.


Dress Comfortably
You're probably going to be on your feet for a greater part of the day at the Expo. Not to mention that you may also be moving around a lot setting up shop and eventually going back and forth between prospects. As you can imagine, this is going to take its toll on your feet and lower back.


That said, wear comfortable, soft rubber-bottom shoes or sneakers. I'd personally lean towards wearing sneakers. If you must adhere to a dress code and can't wear sneakers Nike Air VaporMax 97 Argento Bullet Scontate , then consider black tennis shoes. Yes, these are actually sneakers, but they look like regular black, rubber-bottom shoes. Black Reeboks would be my choice.


In addition to wearing comfortable shoes, you also want to dress comfortably. You might want to wear casual slacks, a skirt or Dockers and white shirt. Guys Uomo Nike Air Vapormax 97 Trainers Bianche Scontate , unless you have to, don't wear a tie as you'll probably wind up loosening it or taking it off anyway. As a general rule, the way you dress at the Expo should match the industry you're in. So, if you're exhibiting at a tech Expo, then dress according to how techies dress.


Remember that you'll be speaking with many potential clients so you want to look professional. You are representing your company or business. Dressing comfortably, yet properly Uomo Nike Air Max Plus Tartan Nere Scontate , will not only give your prospects a good first impression, but will also help you perform your best.


Save Money! Forget the Padded Carpeting
Want to save some money right off at bat? Then forget the padded carpeting most convention centers offer. If you remember to wear comfortable shoes, then you won't need the carpeting. However, if you forget to wear comfortable shoes, then definitely get the carpeting. Your feet and lower back will thank you. However, since you're smart Nike Air Max Plus TN Ultra Bianche Scontate , I know you'll opt to wear the comfortable shoes.
