She discusses the business opportunities that are available exclusively at trade shows and explains how attending trade shows can help small business owners reduce their cost-per-appointment. She also shares tips on how to decide which live events are the right shows to attend for your small business, the biggest mistakes many entrepreneurs make when attending trade shows, and how to create memorable experiences for those who visit your trade show booth.
