The convention and tradeshow industry has been my passion for over ten years, and I bring my love for this job to every show I work. My energy, enthusiasm, and hard work will drive qualified leads into your booth as I go above and beyond to make sure your booth is crowded and your tradeshow is a success. I’m just about always willing to travel and have worked at tradeshows, auto shows, and conventions all over the country as well as abroad.
Presenter
I’ll deliver your message in a captivating and clear style consistent with your brand. I’ll present your exact script or I can write one myself, handcrafted for your company. Qualified prospects will be drawn into the presentation and remain for follow-ups with your representatives.
Product Specialist
I’ll extensively research your product line and deliver information about both your company and your products at the show. Prospective customers will be qualified and your representatives will be free to handle only your most important prospects.
Crowd Gatherer
I’ll pack your booth with quality leads and fill your presentation space with attendees excited to listen to what you have to say. Any and all qualified attendees going by will be approached by me and brought inside your booth to talk to a salesperson or enjoy a presentation.
