You have, on average, 6 seconds to meet and evaluate a visitor to your exhibit, based on how many people you need to qualify and speak with at a show. Tradeshows are a microcosm of the outside world. Time is compressed at a tradeshow; it's a very precious commodity.
The solution is to develop your ability to manage the communication process. Know how to courteously disengage from an unlikely prospect, when to turn over some prospects to the right exhibit staffer and when to take over for them when they need to speak with someone else. Plan for success and be sure everyone in the booth knows their assigned role! The people that need you will really appreciate it!
