What is Lead Retrieval?
It is in the best interest of exhibitors, attendees, show organizers and registration contractors to utilize lead capture systems.
Using lead capture systems generates a positive return on investment for each of these event stakeholders:
Exhibitors invest time and money at an event. Lead retrieval provides critical information that enables exhibitors to quickly identify their best prospects.
Attendees are far more likely to receive the information they want in a timely manner when exhibitors use a trade show badge scanner or a mobile app. These systems provide show organizers with information that allows them to monitor their educational sessions in real-time (attendee tracking). It also provides them with critical marketing data to assist in selling exhibit space and sponsorships at future events.
The ability to follow-up on tradeshow leads is dictated by the manner in which the leads are collected. If your “system” is to ask for a business card on the back of which you make a few notations, you will have a lot of key entry to do and you will have to work on assumptions for which there may be no foundation.
One important benefit of electronic lead management is its ability to attach qualifiers to each of your leads. Some systems contain a limited number of fixed qualifiers, such as “hot lead,” “send salesman,” ‘send literature” etc. Not everyone at a trade show is a prospect. Gathering critical information about each potential customer’s needs will make your post-show lead follow-ups more effective.
Business cards are simply not good enough.
Not if you drop them, or lose them or never input the info into your CRM (Customer Relashonship Manager). Additionally, lead retrieval captures attendees full registration data – this is much more info than what is on a business card. It includes purchasing authority, buying timeline, company size as well as other useful data.
Companies exhibit at shows to gather leads – manage those leads in a quick, digital way using an electronic or mobile system. Using a lead capture system you will never lose a lead by dropping a business card and salespeople back at the office can follow up on leads before the show even ends. Leads should have qualifiers and notes for better targeting. Because it’s digital, there’s no manual entry of cards and offers exhibitors easy database upload after the show.

Over 63% of trade show leads fail because sales follow-up is too late!
Companies invest an exorbitant amount of money, time, and resources in trade shows. Business leaders hold sales and marketing departments accountable and responsible for generating a return on the investment made in trade shows. With marketing dollars being finite and marketing investment being heavily scrutinized, it is more important now than ever to drive revenue results out of the trade show. Simply coming back to the office with a handful of business cards is simply no longer good enough for an exhibitor. Exhibitors need to be coming back to the office with leads that are qualified to their requirements i.e. products, staff, categories and follow-up actions. Adding Qleads lead retrieval services to your event provides an invaluable sales, and marketing tool for your exhibitors to take advantage of.
