Good tip. We'll be on the SEMA floor in Vegas Nov 2-4 too. Whoever owns show leads, set a simple rule: every contact gets a call or message within 48 hours. Leads go cold fast, and the follow-up is where the revenue is.
How to work the AAPEX Floor Like a Networking Pro
"Assign one person to prioritize AAPEX leads, delegate follow-up, and track activity in your CRM."
