Part 15/18: Viewing Transactions as Energetic Exchanges
Transactions are more than just money.
👉 See them as energetic exchanges where people invest in your passion and belief in what you offer - yes this may come in a monetary form, invitation to become mindful of how you may limit yourself by solely focussing on money as these exchanges can come in many other abundant, meaningful, fruitful and supportive forms!
👉 Detaching from viewing money as the only valuable exchange and focusing on the relationships and trust you build can open even more doors of possibility.
👉 This re-framing/perspective shift can lead to more fulfilling and lasting business connections!

Part 13/18: Choose the Right Show
Each show attracts a different group of attendees.
The attendees should match the profile of your prospective customer as closely as possible (see last post).
The key is to choose shows that provide quality rather than sheer quantity. This strategic choice will enhance your chances of success and ensure you connect with the right audience!

Part 10/18: Empower Your Booth Staff for Success
👉Your booth staff is the frontline of your event presence.
Ensure they are well-trained and prepared to handle the unique challenges of working a show. Acquaint them with the skills they need to make the show really pay off.
A reasonable staff schedule is equally crucial—working a booth can be grueling, so regular scheduled breaks are necessary.
Every 3-4 hours is the ideal length of time to spend at a booth before a break is needed to keep your team energized and at their best.
👉For Solo Vendors and Occasional Helpers:
If you work your booth alone or with occasional help from friends and family, planning is key!
Make sure to schedule short breaks where you can step away to refresh, even if it’s just for a few minutes.
Prepare snacks and water to keep your energy up.
Have a trusted friend or fellow vendor nearby to watch your booth if you need to step away briefly.
Clear signage options can also help manage customer expectations when you’re momentarily unavailable.
🙌 Empower your team and yourself, and you’ll see the difference in your event success!
