Notes de l'éditeur
- Sam….
- Sam gives overview
- NABShow constant struggle to evalaute value as we are pushing upper limits of price points. Looking at other options beyond just NSF rates to generate revenue.
- NAB has a healthy retention rate during on-site space sales, but through organic growth and retention sales another 500+ companies are sold through out the year.
- I can share our case study experience.
- We work with Skip Cox in particular to do variations of Sales Conversion studies for top exhibitors.
