Best performers and best looking. I'm not joking about the latter, it matters.

With the caveat of those who aren't socially awkward... I know plenty of sales reps who are lovely and seemingly personable on the phone/Zoom but are just a nightmare in a tradeshow/conference setting.

Also would make sure that if I'm sending more than one, they get along for the most part or have some similar interests outside of work for the downtimes to build the relationship.

Call me what you want, just sign the damn contract
Really? That's fairly surprising to me.

The first time it happened to me, I was absolutely shocked too! I was at a conference with one of our seemingly outgoing and bubbly reps and when it came to engaging with strangers and having conversations not directly related to the conference, she shut down.

It was borderline embarrassing but just goes to show how comfortable people are when theyโ€™re hiding behind a computer screen... โ˜•๏ธ๐Ÿธ

On a same note. How do I convince my manager to let me be the one to send to a conference?

Do you have to do comp corrections at the end of every sales month because the reporting and finance team never get it right?
