Imagine this…

An elegant pool table strategically placed in your booth.  Trade show attendees have suddenly stopped dead in their tracks as Chef Anton, The Two Time United States Trick Shot Champion makes a cue stick appear from a ball of fire.

The audience is stunned.  You can feel the electricity in the air.  There is a burst of applause as a spectator, enticed from the crowd, pockets 10 balls in one shot.  They’re amazed as another has a pool ball shot out of his mouth and into the corner pocket.  They explode with laughter as a woman opens a sealed envelope to find that the watch she was wearing only moments ago is miraculously inside.  All this while Anton’s running commentary is tied to your service or product benefits.

The presentation is soon over.  A line forms as the intrigued eagerly await answers from your personnel.  There is a wonderful feeling of well being as the crowd disperses replete with prizes, unique premiums, and your product information memorably implanted in their minds.  They’ll be back.  And, they’ll bring their friends.

This award-winning show was ranked #1 Traffic Builder by Exhibitor Magazine. Beginning with a medley of ragtime music, the tradeshow attendees will be drawn to your booth like a magnet. Once there, they will experience the show ABC News called “the most effective form of sales entertainment in the trade show industry.”

Exhibitor Magazine ranks Chef Anton’s show as the #1 Traffic Builder!

Featuring the same shots Chef Anton used to win The United States Trick Shot Championships, this original and creative show is the perfect blend of mind-boggling pool ball wizardry, dazzling sleight of hand, and daring pick-pocketing. As if that were not enough, the entire show is choreographed to customized music and sound effects, launching it to a whole new level. All this while Anton’s running commentary is tied to your service or product benefits.

Thanks to years of research and development, we have learned to master the subtle techniques that create a persuasive presentation. Through the perfect blend of psychology and mind-control, the messaging is laid out in a way the audience is in a relaxed state. This scripting is done in such a fashion the audience is unaware of how much information they are trying to assimilate.  Don’t believe us, listen to one of Chef’s clients, “We contracted an independent study of over 2,500 attendees and found that one week after the trade show was over, attendees had a 92% Retention Rate of Our Top Three Sales Messages.”

Customized Integrated Sales Presentation

Your Customized Presentation

First, we consult with your Trade Show Coordinator and Sales Manager. Through years of experience, we are able to learn your goals for the show and research your unique products.

Next, we develop a detailed outline based on your main sales points and product benefits. This presentation includes jargon unique to your industry. Once it is approved, we create sales tie-ins incorporating the product features and benefits and blend them all into a memorable sales presentation.

Finally, we choose from over 500 original trick shots to develop a show which best communicates your sales message. Thanks to years of research and development, we have learned to master the subtle techniques that create a persuasive presentation. Through the perfect blend of psychology and mind-control, the messaging is laid out in a way the audience is in a relaxed state.

This scripting is done in such a fashion the audience is unaware of how much information they are trying to assimilate. According to Industrial Psychologist Richard Lloyd, “Audiences quizzed after the show had a 90% retention rate.”

The initial consultation normally takes 1/2 hour to complete. Once the final outline is approved, we typically spend 100 hours to script, learn, and rehearse your presentation.

Staff Training

Booth Camp

Trade shows success is all about building relationships. A firm handshake and a smile is the perfect start. But this is impossible, if the people do not come into the booth. Our solution is to offer a training curriculum for your sales staff known as Booth Camp.

This program is designed to teach your sales people how to effectively interact with the crowd and me during the show. Your staff will learn how to identify hot leads, when to scan badges, and what to do during the show. In fact, they will be an integral part of the show.

Most importantly, the audience will become more comfortable with your sales staff. Once the invisible wall is broken down, the crowd will be more likely to take time to ask questions once the show is over.

We have developed a highly interactive pre-show promotion known as the I-Cue Quiz. A short multiple-choice quiz is mailed to your target audience. They are invited to test their knowledge during an entertaining and educational demonstration of comedy, magic, and pool ball wizardry at your booth.

During the show, your customized presentation will answer their questions. More importantly, your sales staff will now be able to quickly and easily identify your target demographic during the show. In fact, they will be an integral part of the show.

Most importantly, the audience will become more comfortable with your sales staff. Once the invisible wall is broken down, the crowd will be more likely to take time to ask questions once the show is over.
