TRADESHOW EXHIBITOR SUCCESS
Uncover Mastermind Alliance for
Creating Profitable Tradeshow Results
Your “Secret Weapon” for Guaranteed Tradeshow Success
Don’t waste months – or years – of trial and error when you can start making a tremendous amount of money at tradeshows right now.
by Susan Friedmann, CSP, The Tradeshow Coach
Why do some businesses make money exhibiting – while you try everything possible and barely get enough leads, sales and profits? What if you could convert 15%, 25% -- even 50% or more of your visitors into customers, how much more money would you earn as a result?
“WOW! I have participated in and planned tradeshows as
one function of my job for over 7 years, and wonder how
I managed to make it through without the help of the
Tradeshow Coach. Susan really does a fantastic job in
providing quality material for maximum tradeshow
effectiveness. Any company that invests in attending
tradeshows can not afford to go without a coach.
The Tradeshow Coach is my first choice.”
—Martha Janoskey, Marketing Manager

Which of the following describes you?
? “I’m an experienced exhibitor -- and I’ve tried different techniques – but still don’t seem to get the results I want.”If you answered yest to one or more of the above, then you’re in for an eye-opening revelation.? “I’m fairly new to tradeshows. I know a few things about exhibit marketing, but nothing I do seems to generate enough leads, customers, sales or profits.”
? “There are so many different things to get right when exhibiting, I’m overwhelmed and don’t really know what works – and what doesn’t. My approach is kind of hit or miss.
? I’m an industry supplier and just want rock-solid strategies to share with my clients -- so they see me as a reliable expert and resource.”
? “I’m a show organizer and I want to make sure that my exhibitors know what to do to be successful and profitable at my shows.”
Good New versus Bad News
I have good news and bad news for you. Let me tell you the good news first.
No matter how “new” experienced or inexperienced you may be at exhibit marketing, by the time you finish reading this article (which will take you about 10 minutes), you will have learned exactly how to “break out of the exhibiting rut” you may be in today – and generate more leads, sales and profits than you ever imagined possible! When you carefully read this article word for word and learn the undercover marketing strategies I will reveal to you, you simply cannot fail.
That’s the good news. The bad news is that by the time you finish reading this article, you’ll have in your hands a proven, fool-proof approach to achieving the kind of exhibiting results you’ve always dreamed of – but you’ll have no more excuses for not making a lot of money at tradeshows. From this day forward, the best you can every say with complete honesty is, “Yes, I know how to be successful exhibiting, but I don’t want to do what it takes to succeed.”
If you’re not up to this challenge, please stop reading right now. This will just be a waste of your time.
However, if you have big dreams and are willing to do what it takes to realize them, then this is probably the most valuable article you’ll read all year. It is worthy of your undivided attention – and I urge you to read it in its entirety because it contains the key to unlocking the huge exhibiting cash vault.

The Top 3 Reasons Why Most People Fail at Tradeshows
1. They get “caught up” in the technical aspects of exhibiting.
If you’ve been exhibiting for any length of time, I’m sure there are days when you feel like you’re doing an avalanche of work for a small trickle of return. Sometimes it may seem frustratingly slow to get your projects moving in the right direction. For instance, if you’re like most average exhibit marketers, you probably spend most of your days …
- in meetings that have little or no purpose
- answering the endless stream of emails
- dealing with questions about your exhibit
- trying to get your sales manager to make decisions about your exhibiting plans
- arranging for new graphics
- coordinating your tradeshow services
- deciding how to market without a real budget
- choosing the best advertising opportunities to take advantage of
- finding ways to stand out amongst the competition
… and doing all kinds of things – except plan how to make money.
Face it. All that time-consuming “grunt work” could really eat away at your time (and money) – and you could still have little to show for it at the end of the day. Afterwards, you could be tempted to do the next “logical” thing – that is, work harder. Do you really think that spending 10-16 hours a day plugging away at ineffective marketing strategies will even amount to an ant hill?
FACT: 66% of exhibitors surveyed are not able to get their work done effectively and are expected to do more with less. (Exhibit Marketing Research Institute)
Definition of Insanity: Doing the same things over and
over again, and expecting different results.
The problem with most exhibitors, especially when they’re just starting out, is that when a strategy they’ve implemented doesn’t work, they do more of it. I know it sounds crazy, but that’s because they don’t know how to do it any other way.
Getting out of this vicious circle is easier than you think. You’ll discover exactly how to do this as you read on.
Moving onward, the second reason why most people don’t make money at tradeshows is…
2. They buy books, courses and audios; attend seminars and workshops, subscribe to countless newsletters and ezines – which all lead to information overload, and consequently paralyze them from taking focused action.
Believe it or not, there is such a thing as too much information. Sometimes “less is more.” Beware of those who advertise things like “the world’s largest archive of marketing knowledge under one roof.” Some of them honestly believe they’re giving you value, but they’re really doing you a disservice without realizing it.
I’m sure you’ve purhcased marketing materials from people who try to impress you by cramming your brain with entire kitchen sinks worth of strategies, tips and techniques. You often come away feeling overwhelmed by the quantity of information that you’ve been bombarded with – and more often than not, you don’t implement a thing because the prospect of doing so seems daunting. Or sometimes, you try everything at once and achieve marginal results. (I know I’ve been guilty of this many times.)
Finally, the third reason why most people don’t make money at tradeshows is…
3. They seek guidance from the wrong people who deliver rehashed ineffective marketing strategies lacking substance and practical application, and overflowing with hype and theory. Or, they seek out as much free stuff as they can, hoping beyond hope, they can get some “magic wand” success strategies without paying for them.
The Antidote to Lackluster Tradeshow Profits
My name is Susan Friedmann, also known as “The Tradeshow Coach.” I have been working in the tradeshow industry for over 20 years, helping both large and small companies get profitable exhibiting results. I admit that I have made many mistakes, but I had the good fortune of doing one thing right – that is, I studied and became personal friends with marketing experts. These experts all knew how to employ stealth tactics that flew “under the radar” of most people’s awareness – virtually undetected. As a result of receiving their uncommon wisdom, I have realized tremendous dividends for myself.
“Every exhibitor needs someone like you on their side.
Your information is insightful and will help exhibitors
in their quest for a more productive and profitable show.”
—Dan Blevins, Sales Manager
CMC Tradeshows
Well, I’m priviledged to say that connecting with these experts has made a huge difference in how I run my business. I’ll tell you later how they will have a hand in shaping your financial future – just as they have mine.
First, let me ask you a question:
What if you had not just one, not 2 or 3 – but an entire team of experienced mentors at your disposal …
- to provide you with expert advice on how to strengthen your exhibiting program
- to give you “cut to the chase” answers to all your marketing questions, and
- to reveal covert tactics and undercover exhibit marketing strategies showing you the fastest ways to get the results you want from tradeshows – quality leads, sales and profits
… would you pay as little as $1.55 a day for such a luxury?
I’m betting your answer is a resounding “Yes!” Now, just wait ‘till you hear what I’m about to tell you.
The Big Secret
When I first started my business in 1989, I learned one very important secret from one of my dearest mentors, Bill McGrane III. (Bill passed away many years ago leaving an incredible legacy of tried-and-true, sage advice.)
His secret steered me in the right direction from the very beginning. That secret is:
“Listen to the experts and then imitate their success.”
That “secret” prompted me to seek out only those experts that have made a great deal of money in their field of specialization. If that seems like plain old common sense to you – it is! But you’ll be surprised how many of us blindly follow the advice of so-called marketing gurus who have little wealth to show for all the marketing strategies and tactics they teach!
Here’s a SHOCKING FACT: There are more gurus who claim tremendous success, but yet are actually in serious financial trouble.
Remember that things are not always what they seem. Consider this:
DID YOU KNOW… that Bill Gates in not the world’s richest man? Neither is Larry Ellison of Oracle. The richest man on the planet is an American man in his early eighties who lives in a secluded castle in Europe, who first name is George, and who runs billion-dollar holding companies in complete anonymity. He reportedly has a net worth of clos to $100 billion – and he is absolutely adamant about keeping a low profite, away from the prying eys of competitors and the press (which is why most people have never heard of him.)
Likewise, the most highly visible and well-known marketers are not necessarily the richest or most successful. Some of the wealthiest marketers are low-profitle individuals who quietly squirrel away bushels of money away from public view. They possess confidential marketing intelligence that the rest of the world doesn’t know.
Now, wouldn’t you rather get advice from genuinely successful marketers – than those high-profile gurus (with dubious inflated incomes) that peddle untested theories and concepts?
“Susan, I was stunned by the brillance of the concept...
Tradeshow Exhibitor Success bridges the gap between exhibiting newbie and exhibiting expert.
There are thousands of programs for beginners…
this one is a “must” for the exhibitor ready to make the leap to Professional Exhibit Marketer.
I wish I had acces to this information when I was starting out…
It would have saved me $1000s.”

Champagne Wishes on a Soda Pop Budget
Listen closely. I’ve been in your shoes – so I know it’s not easy to chase down experts who are not only knowledgeable, but can effectively communicate how to put their strategies into practice -- especially if you’re on a shoestring budget – trying to do more, or at least the same, with less.
I have spent thousands of dollars on courses, books, audio programs and all kinds of marketing education that I’ve come across over the past 20 years – plus the travel expenses to get to and from the various venues.
Frankly, I poured more money than I care to admit into mountains of worthless materials and fluff. It was difficult (and expensive) to “separate the good from the bad” and distinguish the bogus from the genuine articles, the scam artists from the real thing. But I had to go through that gruelling ordeal in order to unearth the “gems” – that is, the people and teachings with real cash-generating substance.
Now, why am I telling you all this? To demonstrate that my past tribulations have become your gain. Here’s why:
I’ve assembled the “best of the best” marketing masterminds I could find – the ones that routinely crank out the most powerful marketing concepts anywhere – and formed an exclusive membership called…
…Tradeshow Exhibitor Success
“It simply blew me away…”

You’ll recall that one of the top 3 reasons people don’t make money exhibiting is because of the information overload that paralyzes them from taking action. But here’s a word of caution. Not enough of the right kind of information is also counterproductive to your exhibiting success.
IMPORTANT: A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
At tradeshows, it could be hazardous to your wealth!
It may give you a false sense of security that could lead
to disastrous marketing mistakes that are irreparable.
You have to do things right the first time, or you’ll be spinning your wheels, wasting time and money – and worse, jeopardizing your reputation at tradeshows by doing business like an amateur.
