Trade show marketing events provide great brand exposure in the academic marketplace, however, many times the sales reps present at the events only receive praise based on the amount of quality leads obtained at the events. At Biotechnology Calendar, Inc. events, sales representatives are recognized for their suburb salesmanship, attitude, and presence throughout each event.
To be considered for this award, a sales professional must represent the 5 points of the S.T.A.R.S.
Strong and professional presence throughout the event. Arrive on time, set-up before the event, and stay until the end.
Table display is appealing and informative, and provides researchers with an incentive to visit (i.e. swag items to give away or company brochures).
Accessible and engaged staff focused on talking with researchers instead of checking their phones and computers.
Researchers who visit the booth engage well with the sales rep, and the tables appears to be a popular place for researchers to visit.
Sales rep is professional and well represents both their company and the event.
