    Turning Trade Shows Upside-Down with The UnConference - Vincent Pugliese

    Turning Trade Shows Upside-Down with The UnConference - Vincent Pugliese

    We're about to turn the trade show world upside down. I am honored to have on a phenomenal guest today who is an author, speaker, and the founder of Total Life Freedom, where he helps people time and money freedom in their life. And today has started Membership Freedom where he's helping businesses develop memberships in all sorts of different niches.
    Welcome Vincent Pugliese to Trade Show University!
    The concept which Vincent is proposing is called The Unconference which focuses not on keynote speakers, workshops, breakout sessions, or a show floor full of exhibitors, but an event laser-focused on making key strategic connections happen among attendees!
    These are connections that happen naturally or serendipitously at trade shows and events, but only in the "in-between" times and out in the hallways.
    Now The Unconference is designed to make more of those connections happen and happen more powerfully! It's happening in Sarasota FL, Feb 3-5, 2025.
    To learn more about The UnConference - visit https://totallifefreedom.kartra.com/page/unconferenceapplication
    For more info on Membership Freedom, visit https://mymembershipfreedom.com/

    248 - 9 Tips for Working Trade Show by Yourself - Small Business Survival Guide

    248 - 9 Tips for Working Trade Show by Yourself - Small Business Survival Guide

    If you’re a small business, you may have plans to work an upcoming show by yourself or maybe you've done it in the past. Happens with bigger businesses too! And let me tell you, having worked many expos and shows solo, it can be frustrating.
    Here's 9 Tips to help you Survive and Thrive at your next Expo, Event or Trade Show!
    Being by yourself does not allow you to be efficient, maximize your ROI, or put you in the position to get the best results possible.
    The biggest issue is that you can only have indepth discussions with one person at a time.
    Let me give you one big piece of advice – Don’t work by yourself! If at all possible, convince a co-worker, trusted colleague, family member or friend help you out for a few hours or few days. It will definitely be worth it!
    ( 1 ) Set up your booth as early as possible to allow for the unknown.
    ( 2 ) Get to shows early to walk the show floor and meet people.
    ( 3 ) Make friends with people in the booths around you.
    ( 4 ) Simplify and Minimize
    ( 5 ) Use other methods to help capture information and make you more efficient
    ( 6 ) Practice!
    ( 7 ) Get out front of your table/booth
    ( 8 ) Try group presenting
    ( 9 ) Pack snacks, water, mints to help you avoid having to leave your booth

    AND...The next video you NEED to watch so you don't Unknowingly kill your results...
