Building Trust in 30 Seconds
You only get one chance to make a first impression. At exhibitions, you have just 30 seconds to build trust with visitors. Learn proven techniques to connect instantly and turn walk-ins into serious prospects.
In exhibitions, attention spans are short.Visitors walk past hundreds of stalls.
You have just 30 seconds to:✔ Grab attention✔ Build trust✔ Start a meaningful conversation
At Evencias Buzz, we call it the Golden 30 Seconds Rule.Here’s how to master it.
1. Your Body Language Speaks First
Before words, people notice:
- Your posture
- Eye contact
- Smile
- Energy
Stand confidently.Look approachable.Your vibe sets the tone.
2. Start with a Warm, Personal Greeting
Avoid robotic lines like:❌ “Can I help you?”
Instead try:✔ “Welcome! What brings you here today?”✔ “Which industry are you from?”
People love when you show genuine interest.
3. Introduce Yourself Clearly
Say:“Hi, I’m Rahul from XYZ Brand. We help businesses with…”
Keep it:
- Simple
- Confident
- Value-focused
No long stories.
4. Show You Understand Their Problem
Ask a smart question:“What’s your biggest challenge with…?”
Then listen.Really listen.
People trust those who understand them.
5. Give a Clear One-Line Pitch
Your pitch should answer:How do you help them?
Example:“We help brands increase footfall using custom stall designs.”
Short.Sharp.Relevant.
6. Use Social Proof
Build instant credibility:
- “We’ve worked with 50+ brands”
- “Our stall increased 3X footfall”
- Show photos/videos
Proof builds trust faster than words.
7. End with a Soft CTA
Don’t push sales.Try:✔ “Can I show you a quick demo?”✔ “Would you like a free consultation?”
Gentle approach works better.

❌ Being pushy❌ Talking too much❌ Ignoring visitor needs❌ Lack of confidence❌ No product knowledge
