Lead Capture That Scales

Tech conferences move fast. Hundreds of demos, thousands of conversations, and a firehose of contacts that need to reach your CRM before competitors follow up first. Exporb captures every lead with AI, so your team focuses on selling — not data entry.

Why Tech Companies Struggle with Trade Show Leads

The biggest challenge at tech conferences is not generating interest — it is capturing and acting on it before your competitors do.

High-Volume Lead Capture

Tech booths at CES or Web Summit generate hundreds of contacts daily. Manual entry means missed leads and incomplete data that never makes it to your CRM.

Demo Feedback Gets Lost

Product demos spark detailed technical conversations. Without recording, you forget which prospects asked about specific features, integrations, or pricing tiers.

Slow Follow-Up Kills Deals

By the time your team manually enters leads post-event, competitors who responded faster have already scheduled their demos.

Booth Team Coordination

Multiple reps working the booth scan the same badge, capture duplicate leads, or miss warm handoffs between shifts.

How Exporb Solves Lead Capture for Tech Companies

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

Instant Card Scanning

Snap a business card and AI extracts name, title, company, email, and phone in seconds. Handles cards in any language — critical for international tech conferences.

Voice Recording for Demos

Record product demo conversations with one tap. AI extracts technical requirements, feature requests, integration needs, and follow-up actions automatically.

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

WiFi at tech conferences is notoriously unreliable. Capture leads, scan cards, and record voice notes offline. Everything syncs when you reconnect.

Real 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.
