TURN THE TABLE AROUND

No matter how good your product is, selling is never an easy job. Even when you know who your prospects are, calling on company after company, day after day, is a grinding routine. Half the time the person that makes decisions is out or busy or just not ready to buy. Many products are too heavy or complex to demonstrate on a sales call

Regional trade shows such as the PRODUCTS SHOW generate qualified audiences, the majority of which cannot be reached on a regular sales call or by any other media.

THE PRODUCTS SHOW allows you an opportunity to demonstrate your products’ advantages and show it under ideal conditions. The buyers can compare it, evaluate it and sell themselves, all at one location.

Many exhibitors tell us they develop leads and new business at the show that would take months of sales calls in the field. With the escalating costs of the average sales call, your company can save time and money by exhibiting in the PRODUCTS SHOW!

THE SOURCE FOR BUYERS

The PRODUCTS SHOW is biennially alternating each year with other regional Products Shows throughout the Midwest.

The Show is sponsored by area chapter of the Institute for Supply Management – a Professional organization representing some of the largest area companies and government offices whose major job function is buying for their respective companies.

If you can help these buyers and other key personnel attending from throughout the Midwest improve efficiency, speed productivity, boost sales or reduce costs, THIS IS YOUR MARKET!
