    Let’s face it, you don’t invest in trade shows to stand around and smile. You’re there to win. In this high-energy, hands-on session with internationally renowned trainer Han Leenhouts, we’ll take your booth performance from average to unforgettable. This isn’t about gimmicks or standing still, it’s about cracking the customer code, boosting your Earnings Per Lead (EPL), and learning to own the floor like it’s your main stage. Backed by 20+ years of real-world show-floor experience, Han’s approach is practical, sharp, and built for ROI. Whether you're new to the game or looking to sharpen your edge, you’ll leave with the tools, tactics, and mindset to turn visitors into value, and your booth into a sales platform. “Victory is not a result of avoidance. If you snooze, you lose. And on this team, we don't do half-jobs.”

    • Master attention-grabbing techniques to pull people in, create real conversations, and leave them wanting more — without sounding like a robot or reading a script. 
    • Learn to spot the right visitors, qualify quickly, and learn how to lead them from “just looking” to “let’s talk.” Understand the buyer journey and make every minute count. 
    • Apply battle-tested tips on booth layout, messaging, and mindset to increase your Sales per Hour. Say goodbye to dead time and hello to results that matter.
