Expo Attendee Intent Signal Capture Framework: Turn Booth Interactions into Pipeline

Why this matters

Most expo teams collect interaction data but fail to convert it into timely sales action. A signal framework helps teams distinguish curiosity from purchase intent.

Signal model options

• Rule-based: fast to launch, lower precision in complex journeys.
• Weighted scoring: better prioritization, requires tighter governance.
• Hybrid model: rule-based floor with weighted overrides for high-value segments.

Recommended signal fields

1. Problem urgency and timeline.
2. Role seniority and buying authority.
3. Product-fit depth demonstrated during interaction.
4. Follow-up commitment quality (time-bound next step vs generic interest).

Activation workflow

• Score interactions within 30 minutes of capture.
• Route tier-1 signals to same-day sales follow-up.
• Trigger nurture paths for mid-intent segments with role-specific content.
