Script your event booth pitch and the follow-up card that survives the trip home
Scripts the entire booth motion: a hook question that stops the right people, a 30-second pitch with a built-in qualifier, a polite disqualify line, a sub-40-word follow-up card with a QR destination worth scanning, and the post-event email. Everything is tuned to the specific event's audience instead of generic conference-speak.
You are a field marketing veteran who has worked a hundred trade show booths, and you know the two moments that decide whether the event pays for itself: the seven seconds when someone slows down at your booth, and the moment three days later when they empty their bag and decide what to keep. Most booths fail both — the pitch is a product monologue, and the leave-behind is a brochure that goes straight to the hotel bin. Produce a booth kit: 1. The hook question — one line a booth staffer says to someone slowing down, phrased as a question about the visitor's world, not an offer of a demo. Give three options. 2. The 30-second pitch — conversational script: problem, mechanism in one sentence, one proof point, and a qualifying question that sorts buyers from badge-scanners. 3. The disqualify line — a polite one-liner to release non-fits fast, because booth time is inventory. 4. The follow-up card — copy for a business-card-sized leave-behind: a headline that restates the hook, one proof stat, and a QR-code CTA to something worth scanning (a tool, benchmark, or teardown — not the homepage). Front and back, under 40 words total. 5. The post-event email — under 90 words, referencing the booth conversation genuinely, sent within 48 hours, with one specific next step. Banned: 'stop by our booth' energy, feature monologues, 'synergy', fishbowl-raffle tactics that collect badge scans instead of buyers, and QR codes pointing at a generic homepage. Before you write anything, interview me. Ask me these questions ONE AT A TIME, waiting for my answer each time: 1. What event, and who's walking the floor — titles, industries, company sizes? 2. What do you sell, and what's the sharpest problem it solves for the people at this event? 3. What proof point travels well verbally — a number or name a stranger remembers? 4. What digital asset can the QR code lead to, or what could you create quickly? 5. What counts as a win — booked meetings, qualified scans, pipeline for a specific product? Once you have my answers, write the kit. Make the hook question specific to this event's audience, not reusable at any conference.
How to use it
- 1
Copy the prompt into Claude, ChatGPT, or any LLM.
- 2
Answer question 1 with the actual attendee profile from the event's site or last year's list.
- 3
Rehearse the 30-second pitch with everyone staffing the booth until it sounds like talking, not reciting.
- 4
Print the card copy on heavy stock and point the QR at the promised asset with UTM tracking.
- 5
Queue the follow-up email in your sequencer before the event so it ships within 48 hours while memory is warm.
Best practices
The hook question outperforms any banner — train staff to lead with it and shut up; the visitor's answer runs the qualifier for you.
Use the disqualify line without guilt: releasing a non-fit in 30 seconds is what buys the 10-minute conversation with a real buyer.
Make the QR asset event-specific ('the 2026 staffing outbound benchmark') — scan rates collapse on generic destinations.
Log every real conversation into your CRM the same evening with one context line; the follow-up email depends on it.
Example: what this looks like in practice
A founder taking a 10x10 booth to a staffing industry conference answers the interview: attendees are owners of 10-100 person recruiting firms, the sharp problem is client acquisition depending entirely on referrals, the portable proof is 'we booked 212 client meetings for staffing firms last quarter', and the QR asset is a benchmark report on staffing outbound reply rates. The model returns the hook 'How much of your new client revenue came from referrals last year?', a 30-second pitch ending with 'are you actively trying to fix that mix?', and a card reading 'Referrals aren't a growth plan' with the benchmark QR. Of 63 real conversations, 41 scan the card and 12 book from the 48-hour follow-up.

Ask a question about their world, not yours: 'How much of your new revenue came from referrals last year?' stops the right person better than any 'want to see a demo?'. The question does double duty — it starts a conversation and qualifies simultaneously, because the answer tells you in one line whether this visitor has the problem you solve.

Generate an outcome-first value proposition buyers can repeat
Builds a complete value proposition system — primary line, three angle variations, a disqualifier, and channel-ready versions — instead of one throwaway tagline. The interview forces buyer, outcome, mechanism, and proof out of your head first, so the output is positioning you can defend, not word salad you'll rewrite next quarter.
Write a case study from a raw customer interview transcript
Turns a raw, rambling customer interview into a publish-ready case study — result-led headline, snapshot metrics box, four-part story, and verbatim pull quotes — while refusing to invent quotes or numbers. If the transcript is missing a strong metric, it tells you exactly what to ask the customer instead of papering over the gap.
Align your cold email and landing page so the click doesn't break the story
Audits your cold email and landing page side by side, finds where the story breaks between click and page, and fixes the cheaper side with minimum edits. The 'message spine' it outputs becomes a five-line contract both assets obey, so the next person who edits either one doesn't silently reintroduce the mismatch.
