Simplified pre-event sales development

Hi,

Welcome to the latest edition of the Growth Bytes! 🍩 This edition focuses on a trending topic of the season for anyone – Pre-Event Sales Development. Whether you’re preparing for a trade show, conference, or corporate event, a solid pre-event strategy can set you up for success.

A step-by-step guide to effective pre-event sales development 💸

1. 🕵🏻 Research and identify key prospects

• Use LinkedIn Sales Navigator - this tool allows you to filter and find potential leads attending the event. Look for job titles, industries, and companies that match your target audience.
• Event registration lists - obtain lists of registered attendees from event organizers (usually 2 weeks before), which can often be purchased or requested as part of your package.

2. ✍🏻 Personalized outreach

• Email campaigns with tools like Beehiiv or HubSpot
  • Create a segment - segment your email list based on the event attendees.
  • Craft personalized messages - use dynamic content to personalize emails with the recipient’s name, company, and interests.
  • Include value propositions - highlight what they will gain by meeting you at the event (e.g., exclusive insights, product demos, special offers).

3. 🧩 Pre-event content creation

• Blog posts and articles
  • Use SEO Tools like Ahrefs or SEMrush - find keywords related to the event’s theme and write articles that address these topics.
  • Promote on social media - share your content on platforms like LinkedIn and Twitter, using event hashtags to increase visibility.

• Webinars, audio events and videos
  • Tools like Zoom - host a webinar that provides valuable information related to the event’s theme.
  • Video platforms like YouTube or Opus Clip - create and share short, engaging videos that introduce your company and what attendees can expect at the event.

4. 🗓️ Scheduling meetings
   • Use scheduling tools like Calendly or Doodle
     • Clearly outline your availability during the event.
     • Create a separate page inside of your calendar for that event
   • Automated reminders 🚨- ensure your scheduling tool sends automatic reminders to reduce no-shows.
5. 👯‍♀️ Team preparation
   • Prepare one-pagers - provide your team with one-pagers that summarize important information about key prospects, event objectives, and meeting schedules.
