Alexander Lubich, Bandsaw Machines Line Manager, Rosmark-Steel JSC
(Exhibitor 2016)
"Subsequent to the results of our communication with visitors I figured out that at this very event we had clients of a different quality. At the huge shows there is a great stream of people and it's hard to estimate the value of the client for the company. But here we met visitors of the definite subject, no stream, and you can devote more time to the communication with a client, take in the gist of the tasks rather than just take contact details with phone-you-later response. At the huge events many clients can't reach your stand physically - either they're short of time or they are already intercepted by other exhibitors and besides there is not time for communication unless the client comes exactly to you. At the not-large-scale events the visitor has enough time to investigate all the exhibition area, to attend all the stands needed and to devote the time to an unhurried talk: when a visitor shares current issues of the manufacture with you and we together search for the areas of common interest"
Natalya Arefieva, Electroizolit JSC, Moscow Region, Russia
