The Challenge

GlobalConnect SaaS attended six major conventions in Las Vegas each year but struggled with inconsistent staffing. Flying in team members from their San Francisco headquarters was expensive, and the quality of temporary staff from generic staffing agencies varied wildly. They needed a reliable, Las Vegas-based team that could develop deep product knowledge over time, maintain brand consistency across multiple events, and scale up or down based on booth size and event importance. Their goal was to treat the convention circuit as a continuous marketing channel rather than a series of isolated events.

Our Solution

We designed an annual brand ambassador program with a dedicated core team of eight ambassadors who received ongoing training on GlobalConnect products, competitive landscape, and sales methodology. These core ambassadors attended every event, providing continuity and deepening product expertise over time. For larger shows, we supplemented with trained reserve ambassadors who completed the same certification program. The program covered six conventions spanning CES, Enterprise Connect, NAB Show, Black Hat, AWS re:Invent, and a private user conference. Our team handled all convention logistics including badge registration, travel coordination, daily briefings, lead management, and performance analytics. After each event, we conducted debrief sessions to refine messaging and improve performance for the next show.

Key Results

Captured 14,200 qualified leads across six conventions in the program year

Lead quality score improved by 45% compared to previous year with agency temp staff

Core ambassador team achieved 98% attendance rate across all six events

Cost savings of $180,000 annually compared to flying in headquarters staff

Post-convention lead-to-meeting conversion rate reached 18%, up from 7% the prior year

Ambassador product knowledge scores averaged 94% on quarterly certification tests

"The year-round program changed everything for us. Having the same core team at every show meant they knew our product better each time and built real relationships with returning attendees. Our lead quality skyrocketed, and we saved a fortune compared to staffing events with our own team. This is a permanent line item in our marketing budget now."
