Research has shown that trade show leads take fewer touches to close, but exhibits managers often aren’t measured by their revenue contribution.  During this SLMA Radio program we interview  Victor Kippes, founder and CEO of Validar, and he explains how to measure the revenue contribution and how to avoid cutting shows from the schedule because no one can answer, “Was that show worth it?”  The host is Jim Obermayer
