Who Asks, Who Sees

Their Questions. Your Rules. Totals for You.

Lead retrieval stays off until you switch it on for an event, only the people you choose get a scanner, and the leads stay with the reps who captured them.

01 Their Questions

Every Rep Asks Their Own. Up to Ten.

Reps write their own qualifying questions on their phone, and only they see the answers. The 1 to 5 rating is always on, so even a rep who writes no questions still sorts the hot leads from the polite ones.

My Questions screen in the event app: rating is always on, plus two questions, when are they looking to buy and what are they interested in, and an Add Question button
03 Totals Only

Totals for You. The Leads Stay with the Reps.

The Lead Capture dashboard shows people scanning, leads captured, attendees scanned and scans today, with leads by the hour and a row for every rep. What a rep wrote stays with the rep.

  • By person: leads per day, with the company each rep gave
  • Hands off: you can delete one rep's leads, never read or export them

Sound Familiar?

Hall Opens at Nine. Scanner Desk Opens at Ten.

Your exhibitors queued for a rented scanner, signed for it, paid for it per device and waited until after the show for the spreadsheet.

  • queued at the scanner desk.
  • paid per device, per day.
  • left a scanner in a taxi.
  • typed up business cards on the train.
  • lost the charger by lunchtime.
  • found the leads on a memory stick.
  • emailed a spreadsheet nobody opened.
  • asked the booth next door for a pen.
Your Call

Include It. Or Sell It. Your Price, Your Stripe.

No charge from us per scanner or per lead. You decide whether exhibitors get it with their pass or buy it at checkout for a price you set. Exhibitors expect it: half of the 969 exhibitors surveyed for Freeman's 2025 trends report want lead retrieval devices in an all-inclusive package.

Switch It On.
Pick Who Gets It.

Turn the scanner on for the event, then choose who gets it: holders of the ticket types you pick, buyers of one of your add-ons, or named people by email.

  • Per event: off until you switch it on
  • Ticket types: those that ask for each attendee's details
  • Booth packages: bundle it in, so nobody rents a scanner elsewhere
Lead Capture settings for one event: the switch that turns the scanner on, the ticket types whose holders get it, and Sell Lead Capture with a price per ticket for selected stand tickets

Sell It at Checkout.
At a Price You Set.

Switch on selling, set a price per ticket and choose which passes can buy it. The money lands in your own Stripe account, and VAT follows your organisation setting.

  • One per ticket: added for each named attendee
  • No discounts: promo codes never apply to it
  • At checkout only: it cannot be bought later
Sell Lead Capture card switched on, with a price per ticket and Who Can Buy set to selected ticket types: shell scheme and space only stands

An Extra, Right Where They Expect It.

Exhibitors add lead retrieval for each attendee in the extras step of checkout, under its own heading, beside your other add-ons.

  • Refunds: refunding it removes the scanner and that rep's leads

FAQ

Lead Retrieval. The Questions Exhibition Teams Ask First.

How do exhibitors get lead retrieval?

Switch it on for the event, then choose who gets a scanner: everyone on a ticket type that asks for each attendee's details, buyers of one of your add-ons, or named people by email. You can also sell it at checkout as an extra at a price you set. Each rep then opens the scanner in the event app on their own phone, signed in with an emailed link.

Will exhibitors pay per scanner or per lead?

Not to us. There is no charge from us per scanner or per lead. You decide whether exhibitors get it with their pass or buy it at checkout for a price you set, and that money settles in your own Stripe account.

Do reps need to rent a scanner or download an app?

No. Each rep scans the QR code on each attendee's badge or in their event app with the phone they already carry. The scanner lives in the event app, which opens in the phone's browser and is made for phones, not laptops.

What happens when the hall Wi-Fi drops?

Nothing is lost. Once the scanner is open, scans, walk-ups added by hand and edits wait on the phone for up to 30 days and send themselves when the signal comes back. Open the scanner while you still have a connection, because it needs one to load, and let the queue send before you sign out.

Can we see the leads our exhibitors capture?

No, and that is on purpose. You see the totals: who has access, who is scanning, leads per rep per day, leads by the hour and scans today. The leads, ratings and notes belong to the rep who captured them. You can delete one rep's leads, but you cannot read or export them.

Is scanning a badge the same as consent under UK or EU GDPR?

No. Ask for consent at registration with a clear choice that is not pre-ticked, tell exhibitors they become controllers of the data they collect, and remember that under PECR marketing emails to individuals and sole traders need consent. This is general guidance, not legal advice.

Read the ICO guidance on PECR and our note on lead capture consent before you write your wording.

Does lead retrieval connect to our CRM?

Not directly. Each rep downloads their leads as an Excel file, which any CRM can import. There is no CRM sync or API for leads today.
