Editor's Notes
- Mr. /Ms. Customer I appreciate the time you are giving me today. My objective is to do the following: Ground you on who we are and what we do. We continue to expand our product offerings and services along with adding new branches. Understand your key needs and challenges for both today and over the next 12 to18 months. Only by understanding your needs can we be a better partner for you. Determine where our organization can connect with yours to provide a world class experience for your clients. Having said that… When you think about SmartSource, I would like you to remember these 2 things. Number One-We rent Technology Solutions. We invest in our partners success: Our products ,services, branch network and people are second to none. We use technology to make your experience successful Two-We have been a leader in the Short Term Technology Rental Market Place for over 25 years. Our success spans PC, IT and AV requirements in all types of Venues and show types.
- Over the last 25 years we have built an organization dedicated to being a leader in the short term technology rental industry. We get up every morning and push ourselves to innovate and develop better ways to provide value to our partners and clients. These improvements are driven by you our clients. Hit the key bullet points and ask the audience if they knew this about SmartSource. i.e. Did You Know we have 24 locations,. Start a conversation with the person or people you are in front of. Always use the We Rent Technology Solutions where appropriate. We want to burn in this brand awareness. Our purpose is have them see us as a partner and not a commodity box mover. Note: if you have a recent, personal example of where we have improved a product or process…use it here to reinforce the message.
- As Rent a PC you probably would not think of us as the 13 th largest AV supplier. As an example we were recently recognized as a leading provider by Rental & Staging magazine for AV. We are not Rent a PC. We are SmartSource.
- We have been building this network system for 25 years. We have the most comprehensive Branch Network to serve the Trade Show ,Corporate Events and key local markets today… and we will continue to grow and improve it. Were you aware of our Total Network? As you think about your particular needs …does this provide value for you and your organization? We have invested in the brick and mortar, the products/services and the local people. If you are speaking to a local Convention Center-make the point that we are in their city and will become a great partner for their client who goes to the next city to keep a great experience going. Leaders working with Leaders locally and around the country.
- Certainly the last couple of years have jolted every player in the economy and particularly in the Trade show and Corporate Meetings Industry. We at SmartSource were affected but we have used it to continue to expand (cite the Rentsys and New Orleans acquisition) and improve our operations and services for this industry. What do you see and feel as the key challenges to success for your company and for you in your role? Ask open ended questions to keep them talking about their their world and their needs. Ask what the implications are for their role and company. S-situation questions P-problem questions…feed back that you understand that problem, this leads to implied needs that allow you to ask implication questions like… “ so if this problem persists, what happens to xyz and then abc. The Implication question allows the problem to become clearer and more significant . You then ask the Need pay off questions that land you both at explicit needs. SPIN model of selling

- Mr./Ms. Customer I want you to understand that we can fulfill the majority of your requirements when it comes to AV. In this day and age everything is going digital in AV. With the convergence of IT and AV the requirements for deployment plays to our history in the IT/PC world. We understand the difference between a General Session and a break out session and the AV requirements. There is a break point here. We are expert in exhibitor technology services and the technology used in meetings. We are better structured to deliver these services than a travelling Production Company. You need to understand the distinctions between a General Session requirement and the requirements for break out sessions and trade show floor needs.

Become a trusted advisor by bringing in best practices you have seen or been involved with. People are typically looking for guidance and the “new/new” use of technology that gets better results.

It will also help you track where the users are spending time etc.. For the attendee it makes life a lot easier. You can choose where and how you get info.
