show order writing
Common answers to your most pressing order-writing questions at the shows:
-
It’s our goal to have all orders written by our reps on their iPads. There might be moments during the show when everyone will be busy with accounts (we hope so!). When that happens, we’ll kindly ask you to grab an order form and write your own order.
If you are interested in obtaining a temporary MarketTime license to write orders during the show on your own device, please let us know. There are some important set up pieces that you can do ahead of arriving at the showroom. Please email jess@keenaco.com by Friday June 30 and she will guide you through the process.
-
If you are writing orders, please be sure to collect complete credit card information. We know it’s easier to say “your rep will call you for payment” but why add a step that might lead to delays or cancellations?
-
It takes a few days after major shows for the reps to confirm their orders. Please be patient while the team confirms ship dates, gathers credit card info, adds notes, etc. We’ll confirm and transmit orders as soon as we can.
-
All business cards, leads and handwritten orders must be turned into Keena at the end of the show. Be sure to write the name of your line and any specifics about the inquiry on the card. Please hand it to the person staffing the front desk throughout the day. No exceptions, please.
