★★★★★
Saved $14,000 Early-Bird

"Our trade show calendar has 14 major expos a year. We used to bleed thousands in standard-rate utility markups when deadlines slipped through the cracks. Our SageDoer VA logs all Freeman and GES cutoff dates, files our EAC certificates, and orders electricity weeks ahead. It paid for itself in week two."

Director of Field Marketing, Veloce Health Systems

★★★★★
Flawless Drayage Audit

"Having a dedicated PM supervise our VA ensures our Bills of Lading, pallet counts, and direct-to-site target freight times are audited flawlessly. After Pack Expo, our VA caught a $3,200 drayage weight discrepancy that the contractor refunded immediately. Unbeatable service."

1,400 Leads Synced < 24h

"Historically, badge scanner CSVs sat untouched for two weeks post-show while the team traveled home. SageDoer cleaned, enriched, and pushed 1,400 qualified leads from our Las Vegas show directly into HubSpot before our reps even touched down at home base."

85 Booth Meetings Packed

"Our booth conference rooms were completely booked out 3 weeks before RSA Conference. SageDoer coordinated executive calendars, sent Google Calendar invites with aisle pins, and kept our sales pipeline buzzing across all 4 days."

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our managed virtual assistants for trade show managers and exhibit coordinators.

Can your assistant log directly into Freeman, GES, and convention center portals to place orders?

▼
Yes. Our trade show virtual assistants are experienced with major general service contractors (FreemanOnline, GES Expresso, Shepard, Viper, and Fern). They audit your Exhibitor Service Manual (ESM), set up authorized order profiles, submit electrical, carpet, plumbing, and daily porter service orders, and track proof of EAC insurance filings before early-bird discount deadlines pass.

How do you handle freight, drayage paperwork, and target delivery windows?

▼
Your assistant coordinates directly with your freight carriers (TForce, YRC, FedEx Trade Networks) and exhibit house. They generate color-coded advance warehouse labels or direct-to-site convention dock labels with correct booth numbers and association codes. They monitor Bills of Lading (BOL), track carrier marshaling yard arrival, and confirm freight check-in at the show floor.

Is the dedicated Project Manager’s supervision really 100% free?

▼
Yes, completely free. You only pay for the logged working hours of your assigned Trade Show Virtual Assistant ($6/hr on Full-Time or $7/hr on Part-Time). Your Project Manager's daily early-bird deadline audits, contractor order check-ins, team timesheets, and SOP management are provided at zero extra cost.

How quickly can badge scan data be cleaned and imported into our CRM?

▼
Within 12 to 24 hours of receiving your badge scan exports or scanner app login (iCapture, Cvent LeadCapture, Badgelink). Your assistant normalizes titles, corrects typos, enriches company accounts with LinkedIn/ZoomInfo data, tags the source show campaign, and loads the records directly into Salesforce or HubSpot so your sales team can follow up immediately.

Can your assistant help coordinate pre-booked booth meetings with enterprise prospects?

▼
Yes. Your assistant configures Calendly or Chili Piper routing for your on-site meeting rooms or demo stations. They manage calendar invitations for enterprise buyers, confirm meeting details via email/SMS, send exact hall and booth map coordinates, and update live master spreadsheets so booth hosts know who is arriving at any given hour.
