Advanced Sourcing & Trade Show Mastery™

Turn Trade Shows into Your #1 Competitive Advantage for Finding Exclusive Suppliers

10–14 hoursVideo + 4 live coaching sessions In development
Working a hall like a buyer: a planned route through the aisles hitting the booths you researched, with an evaluation form for each, instead of wandering and collecting brochures.

The problem

Sourcing online will find you a supplier. What it cannot do is put you in front of the factory owner with a sample in your hand. The exclusive capabilities, the custom tooling and the relationships that give you a real edge get built face to face, and trade shows are where that happens.

But walking into the Canton Fair or a sourcing expo without a strategy is like throwing money in the air. You'll waste days wandering massive halls, collecting business cards you'll never use, and missing the suppliers that could change your business.

The solution

Trade Show Mastery gives you Bailey's complete system for maximizing every trade show visit. From pre-show research and appointment setting to on-floor negotiation tactics and post-show follow-up sequences, you'll turn every show into a goldmine of supplier relationships.

This isn't about collecting the most business cards. It's about leaving with committed suppliers, negotiated pricing, and sample orders in progress.

By the end of this program you'll be able to: Navigate international trade shows, conduct in-person factory audits, build exclusive supplier relationships, and turn booth conversations into purchase orders.

Questions

Frequently asked

Is this only for the Canton Fair?

No. The strategies work at any trade show worldwide, including the Canton Fair, Global Sources Summit, and ASD Market Week.

Do I need to travel internationally?

The program covers both domestic and international shows. Many strategies also apply to virtual trade shows.

I already source online. Is this worth it?

Yes, and the two work together. Online sourcing is how you build the longlist. A trade show is how you meet the shortlist, hold the samples, and negotiate terms in the room.
