Introducing a new format by Vinco Complete: Analyst Consultant-led Discussions
At Vinco we are committed to making sure your event delivers a great return on investment providing insights into your prospect’s drivers and that the conversation delivers to your needs. Vinco Complete events include a 3rd party industry veteran to lead the discussions during the event. This gives you greater opportunities for discussion, the ability to have analyst collate information beforehand and facilitate a strong flow to the discussions and more value for you and the customers.
We are experts at creating an engaging and collaborative event - the analyst will discuss your objectives and targets before the invitations are sent - helping to strengthen the documents and scripts used by our attendee acquisition team.
We will ask what you want to hear from the attendees and the analyst will have short calls with the prospects to produce a quick set of points for discussion. This will be shared back in the event and can be a jumping off point for further discussions (and the data fed back to you afterwards).
At the event itself, the analyst will help your team get the most from the event and hit the right balance to ensure everyone leaves satisfied. They will encourage attendees to introduce themselves and share their experiences and future requirements. During the event, they will ask thought-provoking questions encouraging participants to share their own insights and get attendees to talk to each other as well as to your team as we find that this creates the best atmosphere for business insights.
Our analysts have decades of experience in their respective fields and are experts at creating an engaging and collaborative environment for all attendees. They will ensure everyone has the opportunity to share in the discussions and that the conversation stays on track and focused.
