Lead retrieval apps that scan event badges are more popular at trade shows than ever before. However, the ones offered by event hosts and organizers are often clunky and don’t integrate with popular sales and marketing platforms like Salesforce CRM or Hubpspot.
In this guide we’ll show you how to use the Handshook Trade Show Lead Capture and Lead Retrieval app to scan an event badge with a new prospect or conneciton and then instantly connect with them on LinkedIn.
Here is a short video overview:
Instructions:
- Open the Handshook app
- Tap the Connect button in the bottom center
- Scan a trade show badge
- Once AI organizes the data, tap the “+” action menu
- Tap “Connect on LinkedIn”
- You should see the person in the list
- Tap their name, “Connect” or “Follow”, then “Done”
That’s it! You’ve now connected with a prospect or partner you met at a trade show.
