Booth tips for AutoAmericas South Florida - AfterMarket Auto Parts Show

• Put the product in visitors' hands or let them see it working; automotive buyers judge quality physically.
• Ask about volumes and current suppliers to size the opportunity quickly.
• Keep a technical expert available for engineering questions during peak hours.
• Give every person on the booth a clear role (greeting, demos, qualifying) so nobody waits for someone else to start a conversation.
• If you expect local buyers in Dominican Republic, bring key material in the local language as well as English, and have prices ready in the local currency.
• Capture every conversation the moment it ends: scan the badge or card, add a one-line note about what the visitor needs, and rate the lead hot, warm or cold. Notes written that evening are already half forgotten.
