1 feature So what do your customers think about the state of today s dental trade show? Working with our sister publications, RDH and Dental Economics, we polled dentists and hygienists and asked them what they like and don t like about attending trade shows or if they even go to trade shows any more. In all, 588 dental team members (dentists, hygienists, assistants, front office personnel, etc.) responded to our survey. We are only including dentists and hygienists in this article because their sample size was large enough to be representative, in our opinion. Here are some of their answers 2 April 2013PROOFS

I like going to specific companies and s to look at specifics and not be pushed. If the salespeople push, I walk away. It has been 5 or 6 years since I bought anything on an exhibit floor. The best thing is socializing with my friends that happen to be in there. Vendors who try to keep you even if you politely try to excuse yourself. The salespeople have gotten cheap and have attitudes. This last CDA in Anaheim was the worst ever... and I go every year. Salespeople who forcefully engage visitors out of. Every manufacturer always say their products are the best. Without proper data, one can never be sure. Aggressive time-wasting salespeople answered question of 7 skipped question 5 April 2013PROOFS 5

Learning new information (either new products or new techniques, or even refresher information about the products that we already use). It would be great if the sales reps would say... did you know that this or that product... can be used... or help... or the specific ingredient... or why it is unique and how that product is superior compared to the others. Learning about new products and the opportunity to talk to reps; where I live we never have reps visit our office. Getting to see new products and having questions answered about how to use products better. Nice time to ask a rep specific questions about products, especially if I am having difficulty using them at work. I like having the opportunity to see new products and get information from the reps. Samples are great since they let you try the product before buying. It s easier to get your doctor to buy new products if you can use them first. 6 April 2013PROOFS

Give us a card and a website Recently visited several prominent vendors at a conference and was dissatisfied with uninformed reps at the s who could not answer my basic product questions! I have 38 years experience and felt like I should be selling to them The worst part of the exhibit hall is the crowds and/or the poor attitude of reps. I hate it when I try to ask a rep about their product and they act uninterested. Without information, I cannot ask my practice to invest in their products What are the reasons you might not visit a?
