The Post-Event Engagement Gap
Post-event follow-ups can make or break the success of an event.
Event teams pour energy into creating memorable experiences.
But once the event ends, the real revenue opportunity begins.
Follow-ups that are slow, generic, or mistimed result in lost leads.
Despite the high quality of event-generated leads, research shows that up to 80% of them never receive a follow-up (InsideSales.com).
That’s a massive missed opportunity.
