Lead Capture That Scales

CES Day 1: 350 conversations, 90 demos, 200 cards. The competitor whose AE is typing into HubSpot on the way home wins the deal. Exporb scans the card, records the demo, scores the lead, and ships it to your CRM before you leave the booth.

Why Tech Companies Struggle with Trade Show Leads

The hard part isn't generating interest at CES. It's getting the lead into your CRM before the competitor does.

High-Volume Lead Capture

Web Summit and CES booths produce 300+ contacts a day. Manual entry on the flight home means half the cards never reach Salesforce.

Demo Feedback Gets Lost

A prospect asked about your SSO integration and Enterprise tier pricing during a 12-minute demo. Three hours and seven demos later, you can't remember if it was Tuesday or her colleague.

Slow Follow-Up Kills Deals

By Wednesday post-event, your AEs are still cleaning the spreadsheet. The competitor who emailed Monday already booked the call.

Booth Team Coordination

Without a shared lead pool, two AEs scan the same VP twice and the warm handoff from morning to afternoon shift never happens.

How Exporb Solves Lead Capture for Tech Companies

Purpose-built for the speed and volume of technology trade shows.

Instant Card Scanning

Snap a card. AI pulls name, title, company, email, phone. Works on cards in CJK scripts and any Latin alphabet, which is what Web Summit and GITEX throw at you.

Voice Recording for Demos

Tap once to record the demo. AI pulls feature requests, integration needs, technical requirements, and follow-ups. No more 'what did she ask about?'

AI Lead Scoring

Every contact gets an automatic lead score based on conversation sentiment, buying signals, and engagement level. Prioritize hot leads for same-day follow-up.

CRM Export in One Tap

Export leads to HubSpot, Salesforce, or export as CSV. All AI-extracted data — interests, pain points, next steps — flows directly into your pipeline.

Team Sync Across Booth Staff

Your entire booth team shares a single lead pool. See who captured what, avoid duplicates, and hand off warm leads between shifts seamlessly.

Offline Mode for Convention Centers

Convention center WiFi crawls when 70,000 phones hit it. Cards, voice notes, and leads work offline. Syncs when you reconnect.

Example scenario: SaaS Company at Web Summit

09:00

Booth opens. 4 reps log into Exporb and join the shared event workspace. Each rep has the app ready on their phone.

09:15

First visitor. Rep scans their business card — AI extracts contact details in 2 seconds. A quick voice note captures "interested in our API integration, currently using Zapier, team of 50 devs."

11:30

87 leads captured across the team. No duplicates thanks to team sync. A VP of Engineering gets a lead score of 85/100 — flagged for founder follow-up.

14:00

Product demo with a Fortune 500 prospect. Rep records the full 8-minute conversation. AI Enrich extracts technical requirements, integration needs, and 3 specific follow-up items.

17:00

Day ends with 214 leads. The sales team exports hot leads (score 70+) to HubSpot. Personalized follow-up emails go out before dinner — while competitors are still sorting business cards.
