The problem

Cards sit in a drawer. The intern uploads them three weeks late. By then the buyer forgot you.

48 hours is the half-life of a trade show lead

After 7 days, conversion drops by half. After 30 days, it's near zero.

Personalization beats volume

A two-sentence reference to the conversation outperforms a templated 200-word pitch.

CRM hygiene matters most for repeat shows

Tagging by show, booth visited, product interest, and budget makes next year's pre-show outreach 5x more effective.
