How conversations at Agritechnica actually develop
At Agritechnica, a booth does not function through a single role, but through a sequence of international conversations.
First, a trade visitor is actively approached, then linguistically and professionally assessed, and only then handed over to the appropriate product consultant or sales representative. Without this separation, your expert staff conducts initial conversations with every visitor -- and is unavailable for the relevant contacts.
That is why staffing is not planned by headcount, but by conversation types: Approach --> Qualification --> Consultation.
Only from this structure does the appropriate team size for 7 intensive exhibition days emerge.
