Hello Consumer

How Hello Consumer works

One team, one plan, from first numbers to final report.

We turn event opportunities into practical commercial plans — then recruit, train, manage and measure the sales team needed to deliver them.

  • UK-wide delivery
  • Commercial modelling first
  • Sales, logistics and reporting

Useful reporting, insight and recommendations

What you don't get

Being clear about what we are not is the fastest way to know whether we are a fit.

  • A rota of unbriefed staff who meet your product on the morning of the event.
  • A silent weekend where you find out how it went once the van is packed.
  • A report full of impressions and footfall with no commercial conclusion.
  • A yes to every event, whether or not the numbers support attending it.

Commercial clarity before doors open

A good event starts long before the first customer arrives.

Stand fees, stock, travel, accommodation, staffing, samples and payment charges create a serious investment. Our process makes the commercial target visible before the event — and keeps it visible while the team is selling.

Our six-stage event sales process

From first conversation to final ROI review.

Use Hello Consumer for one focused service or ask us to manage the complete journey. The same commercial discipline runs through every stage.

01

Understand

Discovery and brand fit

We establish what success should look like — and whether face-to-face selling is right for the product.

  • Product, pricing, margins and fulfilment capacity
  • Target customer, buying reasons and common objections
  • Brand standards, compliant claims and customer experience
  • Sales, lead-generation or awareness objectives

Output

A shared brief and clear definition of success.

02

Assess

Event selection and commercial modelling

We test the opportunity before recommending that you spend money on it.

  • Audience quality, footfall, competition and event reputation
  • Total costs, gross margin and true break-even revenue
  • Orders, units and sales per hour required
  • Realistic capacity, risk, scenarios and potential ROI

Output

A go, revise or decline recommendation backed by numbers.

03

Design

Sales strategy and activation plan

We turn the forecast into a plan the event team can use hour by hour.

  • Offer, pricing, bundles, demonstrations and upsells
  • Stock quantities, samples, equipment and card payments
  • Staffing levels, rotas, roles and management structure
  • Engagement, conversation, conversion, AOV and lead targets

Output

A sales-ready operating plan with measurable targets.

04

Prepare

Team selection and product training

We select people who can build trust, ask good questions and move conversations forward.

  • Team selection based on product, audience and environment
  • Brand story, product knowledge and customer needs
  • Engagement, qualification, demonstrations and objection handling
  • Closing, ethical upselling, data capture and compliance

Output

A confident team prepared to represent the brand and sell.

05

Deliver

Logistics, management and live sales

We handle the moving parts and manage performance while customers are in front of us.

  • Agreed transport, setup, stock organisation and readiness checks
  • Daily briefings, clear roles and active on-site management
  • Hourly pace checks, live coaching and tactical adjustments
  • Customer conversations, sales, leads and brand experience

Output

A professionally managed activation focused on the agreed result.

06

Improve

Reporting, settlement and next steps

We finish with useful commercial insight — not a vague end-of-event summary.

  • Revenue, orders, units, AOV, conversion and lead results
  • Stock movement, hourly performance and team observations
  • Payment settlement where this forms part of the agreed model
  • What worked, what did not and what should change next time

Output

A clear result, lessons learned and an evidence-led next decision.

What useful management looks like

We measure the sales journey — not just the till total.

Total revenue tells you what happened. The full funnel helps explain why it happened and where the next improvement should come from.

  • Engagement: are enough visitors being approached?
  • Conversation: are the right people staying to learn more?
  • Conversion: are buying opportunities becoming orders?
  • Average order value: are bundles and add-ons helping?
  • Hourly pace: is the team ahead, on track or behind?

Clear responsibilities

You stay informed. We stay accountable.

Every project has a written scope, named owners and agreed timings. This avoids last-minute assumptions and keeps the activation moving.

Hello Consumer can manage

The commercial and operational delivery

  • Commercial modelling, targets and sales plan
  • Recruitment, training, rotas and team management
  • Agreed logistics, stand setup and stock handling
  • Live KPI management, coaching and reporting
  • Breakdown, reconciliation and agreed return process

The brand normally provides

The product, permissions and brand expertise

  • Accurate product, pricing and margin information
  • Sufficient saleable stock, samples and approved claims
  • Brand assets, product guidance and necessary approvals
  • Event booking or venue permissions unless agreed otherwise
  • Fast decisions and a named contact for the programme

Scope, insurance, payment handling, data capture, stock responsibility and settlement timings are confirmed in writing before delivery.

One joined-up partner

Planning, people and practical delivery.

The strongest event plans connect the customer experience with the less glamorous details behind it: stock, setup, timing, management and reporting.

How we work FAQs

Clear answers before we start.

Commercial transparency matters. These are the questions brands usually ask before moving from an initial conversation to a proposal.

View all FAQs
What happens on the first call?+

We discuss your product, customer, pricing, margins, event or location, objectives and current challenges. We then confirm what information is needed to assess the opportunity properly. The purpose is to understand fit — not to pressure you into booking.

How do you decide whether an event is worth doing?+

We review audience fit, likely footfall, competition, reputation, total event costs, gross margin, realistic selling capacity, break-even revenue and potential return. When organiser data or sales history is limited, we use conservative assumptions and make the uncertainty clear.

How are your event sales teams trained?+

Training covers the brand, product, customer needs, pricing, demonstrations, common objections, compliant claims, closing, ethical upselling and the agreed KPIs. We want natural, informed conversations — not robotic scripts.

Can you manage logistics and stand setup as well?+

Yes. Depending on the project, we can manage collection, transport, venue delivery, suitable stand setup, stock organisation, breakdown and return. The exact scope, exclusions, timings and insurance position are confirmed before anything is collected.

What do you report after the event?+

Reporting can include revenue, orders, units, average order value, engagements, conversations, conversion, leads, stock movement, hourly performance, operational notes, lessons learned and recommendations for the next activation.

Do you only work on performance or profit share?+

No. Performance-linked and profit-share structures may be available when the product, audience and economics are suitable. Fixed fees, day rates and bespoke models are also available depending on the work required and the level of commercial risk.
