Mary Buffa does what I do - she writes about exhibiting as part of her job with Skyline Displays.  An article she wrote recently is worth sharing.  It lists the top seven ways your exhibit staff can turn-off whoever walks into your exhibit.  They are
1. Don't understand your business.
2. Be aggressive
3. Don't make eye contact
4. Ignore them.
5. Just talk about your company.
6. Don't get to the point.
7. Don't tell them if or how you're going to follow up.
