Attending a Forum Saves You
Time & Money
Our team works six months in advance to identify buyer's needs and then connect
them with relevant solution providers. The people you meet at a forum have asked
to meet with you specifically and are qualified with a minimum budget of $100,000.
Your personal itinerary of on-on-one meetings provides you with up to 30 hot leads.
The buyers you meet with are the key decision makers and have direct responsibility
over their company's budget. More importantly, they have indicated a proactive need
for your products and services.
A single sales appointment can run into hundreds of dollars considering
time and travel costs. With the forum concept, you are supplied with up to
Buyers do business with people they like. Outside of the busy appointment-based
schedule there are also numerous networking activities. This is an extra opportunity to
connect with up to 50 buyers in a laid back environment.

nothing less than outstanding."

Total Security Summit (941) 925-7585 www.forumevents.com
How are buyers qualified to attend the
Forum?
Our team works with each potential buyer
to identify their position, budget influence
and decision-making ability. Qualified
buyers have direct oversight of the budget,
are responsible for sourcing new providers
and have proof of a $100,000 minimum
budget.
What is the buyer's main incentive to
attend?
Buyers attend a Forum primarily to meet
solution providers who can answer their
specific questions and offer solutions. A
Forum is the perfect environment for a
senior-level executive to privately discuss
their company's needs. The event is
complimentary to attend as a buyer,
meaning we cover accommodation and
meals.
How is an itinerary made?
Each vendor will select buyers they wish to
meet with from a catalog just two weeks
before the Forum. Simultaneously, buyers
will select vendors from a catalog they
receive. This information is combined using
a unique matching software that generates
an itinerary of 30-minute, consecutive
appointments.
Can I display my products at the event?
Product placement at the events is an
extra cost. For an added fee, vendors can
set up a table top display in a high-traffic
area. Ask the event manager about these
upgrades.
Can I meet with buyers who are not on
my schedule?
There are numerous opportunities to connect
with buyers outside of scheduled
appointments. Drink receptions, breakfasts,
luncheons, a gala dinner and entertaining
casino night are all designed to develop
business relationships.
What should I bring to a Forum?
There are no booths or set up at a
Forum. Appointments take place at the
buyer's designated table and require
the same materials as a usual sales
meeting (notepad, informational
material, laptop, etc.).
How many sales representatives
can I send?
Depending on the appointment package,
vendors should send either one or two of
their best representatives. The attending
buyers are decision makers and want to
meet with senior-level sales executives to
source services.
How much does it cost to attend?
Pricing varies by package. There are also
numerous opportunities to upgrade
including product placement and table
top arrangements. Speak with the event
manager to learn how to optimize
attendance at the Forum.
