Apr 16 – Apr 17

Possible TIME! Meetings Reps Attend Hosted Meetings!

1. Meetings Reps Join Your Organization’s Hosted Meetings. 

Your Meetings Reps must join all your scheduled Hosted Meetings. Here’s what you and they need to know:

    1. Where are the meetings? All meetings are held at your exhibit booth.
    2. How do Meetings Reps know their meeting details? They should check the Possible mobile app or their calendar invites for times and details of each meeting they have.
    3. What happens if the person they’re meeting doesn’t show up? Meetings Reps should give them 5 minutes and if they’ve still not joined, click the “Mark as No Show” button in the Possible mobile app. If your Meetings Rep connects with them at a different time, you can always undo “Mark as No Show”.

What other Do’s and Don’ts are there for Meetings Reps?

  • Meetings Reps should:
      • Join each meeting on time and don’t exceed the allotted 15 minutes for each scheduled meeting. There is a 15-minute transition time for Hosted Brand Marketers to move between each meeting. 
      • Download the Possible mobile app ahead of meetings. Meetings Reps can take notes and request follow-ups in the app. 
  • Meetings Reps should not:
      • Contact any individual Hosted Brand Marketers prior to Hosted Brand Marketers meetings in relation to Brand Marketers meetings, or use the confidential information we have provided at any stage of the Brand Marketers to reach out to participating individuals using non-program channels. 
      • Assume the Hosted Brand Marketers they are meeting have prepared for the meeting. These individuals may have agreed to meet based solely on categories or search filters rather than any specific understanding of your organization or solutions. Meetings Reps must assume the Hosted Brand Marketers have no knowledge of your organization or your products, and should be prepared to give a complete sales pitch during their 15-minute meeting as well as leave time for any Q&A. 

Apr 19 – May 3

Provide Feedback

Help us to help you! On Fri, Apr 19, each Meetings Rep will receive an email to provide feedback on their Hosted Meetings, the meetings program and the event to help us improve Possible–please share your thoughts by Fri, May 3

Once Meetings Reps provide feedback, they can download a summary of their meetings, including their notes and contact details of who they met.

SOME FINE PRINT:

Our participant list is confidential, and shouldn’t be (1) shared with anyone else, (2) downloaded or (3) used other than as described by us. Based on information you receive as part of the Hosted Brand Marketers Program, you can’t solicit participants (including individuals you’re scheduled to meet prior to your meetings) outside of the event other than as we permit. If you breach this provision, you may be eliminated from further participation and barred from future programs. Do not assume that requests (or opt-ins) to meet with you as part of the Hosted Brand Marketers Program indicate any interest in meeting with you outside of the Hosted Brand Marketers Program.
