Atricle Dump - What to Do With Your Hands - Two Tips for Feeling Comfortable at Events
I’ll bet you thought you knew all about Paul Revere. He was, of course, responsible for inventing the Internet…uh, no… sorry, wrong turn.Not that he couldn’t have used Internet marketing principles, however, had the Internet been available. Putting an ad up on Google sure would have made life a lot easier than, say, getting captured by the British…not to mention a
Another bonus is that by glancing at the survey, you can take an answer or concern from the individual's survey to start a targeted conversation.
A third bonus is to take the information from the surveys, distill it, and use it as a press release. For example – "XYZ Company at t
Accumulating debt is a part of starting and running a venture. Every enterprise has some debt to suppliers, and many owe mortgages for their office or retail space. Maintaining a certain level of business debt can even be healthy for your credit rating, when good-sized payments are regularly made.But what happens when these payments become fewer and farther in between
Maybe you do the same thing. What does it say to the folks in your audience or who are walking down the aisle? I’M BORED and uncomfortable and I don’t know what to do with my hands.
What to do with your hands? Julia O'Connor, president of Trade Show Training, inc, has two simple suggestions. "My favorite is to take a survey with paper and clipboard", she said. "because trade shows are an ideal time to gather information from folks who stop by your booth."
Develop a little survey – no more than five questions. Make it easy, quick, multiple-choice. You will get better results if you don’t require personal information but always ask how participants want you to follow-up.
What to ask? What do you need to know about potential clients and your business for the next six months? What do they know about your company? Your products? What are their requirements for the sales process, service, financing, repair, technology, innovation, trade-in, etc? Also - in general – how do they see industry trends, outside forces affecting the economy, politics at all levels, taxes, immigration, etc.
While it would be easy to put this in some electronic format, use old-fashioned paper and a clipboard. O'Connor said, "I’ve used up to 10 clipboards per 10x10 space because people are curious and will gather around your space, discuss the questions and ask questions. The big bonus is you hold a clipboard in your hand and look anticipatory."

Here is a true story. My dentist did a “clinical” evaluation of my teeth. That is his fancy way to say he looked in my mouth and starred at my teeth with his own two eyes. He found no cavities in his “clinical” evaluation. I felt happy and relieved!But then he took a quick x-ray. Lo-&-behold, the x-ray immediately spotted a cavity hiding under one of my fillings!!air, technology, innovation, trade-in, etc?

When you think of marketing, that is, if you think of marketing, you probably envision something that takes place outside your office: seminars, advertising, press releases, speaking engagements, and the like. But you might be surprised to know that some of the most important and effective marketing activities take place right in your office.Most of us view our office al
Another bonus is that by glancing at the survey, you can take an answer or concern from the individual's survey to start a targeted conversation.
A third bonus is to take the information from the surveys, distill it, and use it as a press release. For example – "XYZ Company at the ABC show discovered 75% of attendees surveyed approved of holding prices yet were concerned about inflation in the dump truck industry." Use the information to develop a short report and be sure to send to all clients and everyone who stopped by your booth. Putting it on your web site is a good idea, too.
O'Connor also suggests using props to occupy your hands. For example, she asks - Do you have a recognizable logo or mascot? Like the AFLAC duck or the M&M little people. How about a miniature of your product – a baby dump truck or recognizable toy that ties to your exhibit. If it’s a give-away, that’s fine. If not, just say – Nope, can’t give him away – he just wanted to come to the show and meet folks.
Hold the prop in one hand. The curious thing is that once one hand is occupied, the other calms down. And, so will you.
