Top 5 Tips to Have Them Lining Up At Your Trade Show Booth
You've jumped through all the hurdles and management just approved the budget for the trade show booth you've been dying to do for ages. You just high-fived your team when it hits you-you don't just need a trade show booth, you need that trade show booth to get results!This means you have to get people to come to your trade show booth-
OK, you know you need a mentor, but how do you go about getting one. And, what do you look for?

Don’t just think in terms of captains of industry or tech-gurus, here. Ordinary people that have made it include successful teachers or parents or that small business owner down the street.

Just make sure you give them your undivided attention. A thank-you note once in a while doesn’t hurt, either.

Mentors are like Mavens, they really enjoy helping out when they can. In the case of the Mentor, however, they aren’t likely to feel much loyalty to your company. Their allegiance will be to you. In other words, Mentors should be completely devoid of affiliation with your current role in your present company. Let’s face it; most of us switch jobs several times during our work career. It’s best if we don’t have to swap-out mentors each time we change jobs. The mentors are there for you, not for your company.

Remember: Brand (who you are) + Package (your Face to the Customer) + People (customers and employees) = Marketing Success.
