People have made the effort — minimal though it maybe, and in with the aim of nicking swag as it undoubtedly is — of showing up bodily at your stall and submitting to your QR scanners. The least you can do is make an effort back at them. Adding email addresses to a spam database does not, we suggest, count as making an effort. | ||
Instead, manually review your gathered prospects: | |||

(ii) No: those are not, and | :(i) '''Yes''': those who are likely to be interested in your product; | ||
(iii) Maybe: Those about whom who you are not sure. | :(ii) '''No''': those are not, and | ||
:(iii) '''Maybe''': Those about whom who you are not sure. | |||
(i) Call the Yesses: Call those who are: you know, in person, on the telephone: put in some effort: show a commitment signal. See if you can arrange a demo or something. Sending out form emails with “click here to meet with us” or “click on this button to see our demo” is lazy. It shows a lack of interest in the customer. Why should the customer make all the moves, off your lazy spam? | 2. Next: | ||
(ii) Ditch the Nos: Delete the email addresses of all the Nos. Do it now. They are no use to you: irritating their personnel with jokey spam will not win you business, and may impede your business should those personnel move somewhere that might be interested in the future. | :(i) '''Call the Yesses''': Call those who are: you know, in person, on the telephone: put in some effort: show a commitment signal.
