     talks focus on content, so it’s good to set time limits.

     DIALOGUE REPORTS – THE BASIS FOR SUCCESSFUL FOLLOW-UP

     Successful trade show talks have a result: an additional appointment, sending samples, offers,
     etc. Every single outcome and every visitor contact should be documented in a dialogue report.
     Ready-made dialogue reports will help you gather information quickly and later serve as a basis
     for follow-up. There should definitely be room for four essential questions:
