Lead Retrieval: Data Collector for sponsors and exhibitors
This system is for exhibitors and sponsors to obtain data on participants who visited their booths. You can qualify the lead with a score of 1 to 5 for the marketing/sales team to evaluate the quality of leads captured after the event. Each exhibitor and sponsor can export the list of data through the web quickly. And the organizer has the general statistics of which stands have been visited by each participant.
