There are very few of these events that we attend for the Office Products division. Recently, these events have been all virtual, and the platforms change each year.
When you receive a request about an upcoming sales meeting or tradeshow, first schedule an internal meeting with Sales Support Specialist, Sales VP, Sales Operations Manager, and Sales Operations Director/VP.
In this meeting Sales will inform us of what they plan to present/take. Take notes and mark action items for all parties. Generally we will bring:
- Sell sheets or presentations
- Signage
- Samples
Send the meeting notes out everyone.
Place a sample order for any samples we might need; confirm with Sales who to ship to and when they need to arrive.
Place any Graphics requests for any paper items (presentations, decks, sell sheets) we might need.
Confirm with Sales if everything will be loaded digitally or printed/mailed. If mailed, confirm the address and arrive by date.
Attend trainings for the virtual tradeshow platform. Follow all steps to set up items and submit documentation, images, etc.
