used for reporting results to management on the Productronica 2009 tradeshow, including the cost reporting and the customer relationship management system (CRM). Productronica 2009 Results per the CRM system: All information from leads and surveys captured at the tradeshow was input into the CRM system that we use called salesforce.com. The CRM system could then provide the data that would measure the success of Objectives 1 - 3: 1) Number of leads 2) Quality of leads 3) Customer application needs and product interests Also measured are customer demographics; leads that turn into opportunities and the monetary amount of closed sales, and budget and actual cost totals. As a result of the economic downturn, there was about a 50% drop in visitors to our booth in 2009 compared to 2007. Besides having fewer travelers to the tradeshow, another factor in comparing to the past show might have been the extensive product launch that we had promoted in 2007 which drove additional traffic to our booth. In all there were 178 collected surveys from Productronica 2009, of which 165 were qualified and recorded in the CRM system. This data was analyzed through the salesforce.com system providing results such as the visitors’ industry, applications focus, territory demographic, and lead ranking as displayed in some examples of dashboard charts below. Chart showed ~20% identified as hot leads Leads per regional sales manager territory CTSM Portfolio – Tracey Schropp Page 34

Application interests help target future focus: Interests in certain products helped with follow-up after the tradeshow: In addition to the measurements above, as time passed, the salesforce.com CRM system could provide the results of how many leads end up to be sales opportunities, and then the monetary value of opportunities won (turned into sales). Following are the summaries of some results reported out of salesforce.com in November 2010, one year after Productronica 2009. (*The salesforce.com reports can be found in Appendix, page 54 - 55).
