We left [the show] with almost 400 leads! 🙂 <--- this smile doesn't do my feelings justice. I left the event so very happy. Our distributor partner with eight times the staff didn't get half those numbers. And nothing feels better than every other booth owner coming over and asking "what are you guys doing? You're killing it!"

FROM: Mike Moyer, Trade Show Sensei

Dear Future Lead-Capturing Machine,

Trade shows are great! Where else can you go to a place filled with hundreds or thousands of like-minded professionals all looking for the kind of services you offer? Trade shows can be fun, educational and productive; but in recent years it seems like it has been harder and harder to justify the expense. Costs keep going up, but sales don’t keep pace.

I have felt this pain and I invented a process to tap the true potential of trade shows and it works… it really works. In fact, it’s not uncommon for my client to double, triple, or quadruple the number of leads they capture. Some grow even more.

It’s not because they buy more space or a bigger booth or more advertising or throw hipper parties. It’s because I teach them to tweak a few things they are doing anyway that dramatically increases the rate at which they capture leads.

For instance, they’re staffing the booth anyway, but I teach them the Four Core Arts of the Trade Show Samurai so that they know what to do to maximize traffic and have meaningful conversations.

It’s amazing what a few easy-to-learn changes can do to increase lead flow.

“But Mike, I've been doing shows for years! I’d be surprised if you can show me anything I haven’t already tried”

…Can I Really Get More Leads Than I Am Now???

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Some of my best clients are seasoned trade show marketers who are shocked at the results they experience. Of course, these people are tough nuts to crack. Most trade show professionals don’t know how much opportunity they are missing.

The Trade Show Samurai Arts are counter-intuitive so most people miss them. For example, most people use give-away items to attract people to their booth. The Trade Show Samurai uses them to get people out of their booth. More about this is described in the video on the Art of Disengagement.

The Four Core Arts

At the center of the program I teach are the Four Core Arts:

The Four Core Arts alone will rock your trade show world, but in the Virtual Dojo you will also learn about the Art of Familiarity- a simple trick that will help people remember you when they see you at the show. And much more!

Virtual Referrals

Every salesperson knows that a personal referral is the best possible lead. The Trade Show Samurai Arts produce the next best thing—a Virtual Referral. It’s a referral that feels very person (even though it’s not). When your sales team calls on one of your Trade Show Samurai leads they person will remember your company and the sales person will have a good understanding of what the lead wants.

To get these warm, virtual referrals….

…You don’t need to get a bigger space or a better location.

…You don’t need to buy a fancier booth.

…You don’t need to sponsor parties or events.

…You don’t need expensive show advertising.

All you need is to rethink how you and your staff behave on the show floor. The Trade Show Samurai knows….

…where to stand in the booth to optimize traffic flow.

…where to put the chairs.

…how to position their body appropriately when trying to engage and disengage attendees.

…exactly what to say when first speaking to an attendee.

…what questions need to be asked.

…how to keep detailed notes without writing detailed notes.

…when to pass out give-away items.

…how to get the most of every interaction on and off the show floor!

Who Am I And How Can I Help You Become A Trade Show Master?

I’m Mike Moyer. As a Trade Show Samurai Sensei I’ve helped people all over the world master the Trade Show Samurai Arts and accelerate their success at trade shows beyond their wildest dreams. I’ve helped everyone from trade show rookies to seasoned professionals crack the code on lead generation at trade shows.

I developed the Trade Show Samurai Arts when I was the vice president of marketing at a publically-traded financial services company. I was only on the job a few months when I was handed the responsibility of managing the company’s trade show strategy after an 80% budget cut. Lead flow was never very good at the show so the budget was reduced.

The company had recently rebranded so I had to use most of the budget to buy booth space and a new trade show booth. We had virtually nothing left for show promotion- hardly enough to cover travel expenses.

I knew I couldn’t fail on this project and I knew I needed to try something completely different so I designed a strategy that focused on interpersonal techniques and booth behavior. We generated over 700 leads at the show- far more than the previous 20 years of exhibiting—combined. That was the seed for what is now the Trade Show Samurai methodology.

I can show you exactly what I do to get fantastic results at Trade Shows.

Today people all over the world use the Trade Show Samurai method- but far too few…

How Trade Show Exhibitors Are Killing The Trade Show Industry

Most shows generate a handful of leads in the form of business cards with chicken-scratch on the back or an electronic scanner file of contacts with little or no actionable data. When companies roll up all the costs of the show and take a long hard look at the results it’s no wonder they have second thoughts about participating. Many companies feel that the expense is just too great and drop out. Some of the best shows in the world are getting smaller every year.

The cost per lead is the total cost of the show divided by the total leads. If you only collect a handful of leads the cost per lead can be thousands.

Trade Show Samurais, on the other hand, collect hundreds or thousands of leads at shows. Each lead has the information the sales team needs to act on the sale. Not only are the leads much more useful, the cost per lead is much, much lower.

If every exhibitor staffed their booth with Trade Show Samurai’s the trade show industry would probably be growing, every attendee would be fully engaged and the leads would be great!
