How to Double Qualified Leads from Trade Shows
Everyone, yes everyone, knows that trade show leads close faster than any other type of lead (fewer steps in less time). With the fixed cost of a trade show going in, the challenge is how an average company can get the maximum number of qualified leads. Double the number of qualified leads, (which reduces your lead cost in half) and you will increase sales by 100%. Sounds farfetched but not really; our guest George Rebhan of LeadValu will tell us how to do it. The host is Jim Obermayer.
