Ep 136 – How to Guarantee Success for Your Show Experience – Lydia Sugarman

The experience we have and the experience we put our attendees, exhibitors and sponsors through is more important to our results than ever! In this episode we discuss How to guarantee success for your trade show experience with Lydia Sugarman, founder and CEO of Venntive.

Prior to moving into the online space in 1995, Lydia Sugarman honed her sales skills in diverse verticals, from financial services to travel to entertainment. In the process, she skied the Alps, raced in outlaw bike races in New York, mounted art shows in Moscow and New York, and produced Vin Diesel’s first short film. Along the way, she fell in love with email marketing and CRM.

We discuss…

  • Surprising statistics about trade shows
  • What should you do to not drop the ball on follow-up?
  • How planning for a trade show is like planning for battle
  • And much more!

Lydia’s Top Takeaways:

1. Make sure everyone attending knows their responsibilities.

2. Provide training. Selling at a trade show has its own set of rules, strategies, and tactics.
