In short
- What is the occasion?
- The company is on the exhibitor list of a trade fair. Whoever pays for a stand is selling actively, showing new products and talking to suppliers during that time. The list is public, months before the fair.
- Why call now?
- In the weeks before and after a fair, exhibitors are more reachable than ever: they plan, compare, decide. And in their exhibitor profile they say themselves what they make.
- How does Kodo spot it?
- Exhibitor list, Exhibitor profile, Own website, Several fairs.
The timing.
Every occasion has a window. Before it, nothing is visible; after it, the order is placed. Kodo delivers while the window is open.
- 1 Exhibitor list The organiser publishes the exhibitors, often half a year ahead.
- 2 Preparation New products are finished, capacity is planned.
- 3 Monday list Kodo puts the exhibitors from your area on the list with fair and profile.
- 4 Fair and follow-up Conversation at the stand, follow-up in the weeks after.
How Kodo spots the occasion.
Public sources only, each with a date. What Kodo cannot back up word for word is not on the list.
- 01Exhibitor listKodo reads the published list of the fair and matches every exhibitor to a company.
- 02Exhibitor profileProducts, processes and target industries from the profile at the organiser.
- 03Own website"Visit us in hall 4": the company announces the appearance itself.
- 04Several fairsWhoever exhibits at two trade fairs a year is investing in sales and capacity.
- 05Fairs of the buyersNot your fair, but your customers': SPS, Hannover Messe, Motek, Fakuma. That is where those who need parts stand.
How it appears on the list.
One line of the Monday list: company, occasion, the quote from the source, the check, the contact person.
How your sales team opens.
The first sentence starts with the source, not with your product. Two examples for this occasion:
"You are exhibiting at Hannover Messe in April. Are you showing the new plant there, or what is the focus?"
"Before the fair: could I have twenty minutes with your head of production, so we do not start from zero at the stand?"

What people ask first.
Which fairs does Kodo read?
The trade fairs of machine building and the supply industry in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, including AMB, EuroBLECH, Motek, Hannover Messe, Fakuma and SPS. The overview with dates is in the trade fair calendar.
Is a trade fair appearance enough as an occasion?
It is a good moment, but Kodo combines it with what the company shows otherwise: investment, jobs, growth. The strongest occasion comes first, the fair appearance alongside.
Should I exhibit myself as a contract manufacturer?
That is your decision. Kodo uses fairs the other way round: as a list of companies currently building devices and needing parts for them.
