In our season finale we are talking about hospitality suite events.  This is vital for your trade show events to network with your clients and let them talk to actual customers.   You will close more deals with potential customers talking to real customers than you will ever close just with a sales person.  The hospitality suite will facilitate those conversations, but make sure you follow these tips so you don't waste this golden opportunity.   Visit us on the web at www.DSConnects.com.  We look forward to seeing you back for Season 2!!

Until next time... I appreciate you.

Every organization has goals for their events, if we didn't reach those goals, then we don't get a return on our investment.  In the end, that's all the balance sheet cares about, however if you put those goals first, you are getting in the way of your own success.   Try adopting this one simple philosophy as you plan your events and you will notice that those secondary goals become much easier to reach.   If you need help making your event a superstar event, visit us on the web at www.DSConnects.com
