Exhibition and Trade Show Skills Training Course (One Day)



Overview of our Exhibition and Trade Show Skills Training Course

Exhibition and trade show stands can be a very effective marketing tool to attract new and existing clients. Research shows that 88% of exhibition visitors are personally involved in buying your products or services at the show. Add to that the fact that 91% of decision makers find exhibitions an ‘extremely useful source of purchasing information' it's therefore critical that you ensure you have the right skills and knowledge to optimise the time, energy and money you invest. We will help you look at each of the key stages so you not only make the most of the Exhibition you select to attend for business promotion but also more importantly, make a substantial return on you investment.

Timings: 9 am to 4.30 pm.  London timings may vary to 9.30 am to 5 pm.

We also offer the option of virtual training/coaching.

Booking confirmations: We will email you to confirm receipt of your booking within five working days. A confirmation invoice will be issued to either request payment by either BACS or confirmation of payment if you have made a card payment already through our Stripe Account.  This will be issued within five working days. Also detailed joining instructions are normally released by email at least seven working days prior to the date of the course.

We look forward to receiving your booking and welcoming you onto the course.

Testimonials from our Exhibition and Trade Show Skills Training Course

Very well presented - totally relevant to our company needs - most useful !

I am absolutely confident that the information I have learnt will increase our ROI two or three times!

Excellent course I would recommend to anyone planning to have an exhibition

Opens your eyes to the mistakes we make on our stand

Well worth the time and the money to ensure we get it right on the day

Fantastic - filled in all the areas we didn't know and I was amazed by what we hadn't considered including the areas of preparation needed to make it a success

Really good course - the tailor made way it was with the research about our business before was great. Felt like it has tuned me into making sure the exhibitions are as beneficial to the customer and the company as possible.

Really engaged training, enjoyed it and has led me to have more confidence on expo stands and in general business networking - thank you!

I found the role play was very helpful as I haven't done any exhibitions work before.

I will be more confident in approaching groups of people and use key phrases to talk about the business

Thoroughly enjoyed our day and are very chuffed that our current business model is on the right track - great to have approval by an external body

Very useful - I would appreciate more refresher training before our next exhibition to continuously improve the teams confidence and skills.
