How expert conversations at didacta actually develop
At didacta, a booth does not succeed through a single role, but through the ability to competently explain education products.
First, a trade visitor is approached, then their interest and role (teacher, school head, procurement) is categorised, and only then handed over to the appropriate product expert. Without this separation, your specialists conduct initial conversations with every visitor -- and are unavailable for the relevant decision-makers.
That is why staffing is not planned by headcount, but by conversation type: Approach -> Classification -> Expert consultation.
This structure determines the optimal team size for the education trade fair.
