I recently came back from a whirlwind few days at Hannover Messe, a massive tech and industrial fair in Germany. The goal? Build our sales pipeline and get back into the in-person event game.
If you’re wondering if attending in-person events is a good acquisition channel for B2B sales, let’s me share my experience.
Clocking 13km a day wandering the event, here’s an overview of my strategy and key learnings.
Hannover Messe is huge. To make the most of my time, I spent a couple of hours on the morning of the first day to assess the lay of the land and identify the most interesting halls. I decided to focus on the startup hub, country-based sections, and industry-specific halls.
Since we help B2B startups and scaleups develop solid GTM strategies, sustainable growth systems, and strong market positioning, I spent most of my time talking to these types of businesses and multipliers, i.e. accelerators, industry associations, universities, and incubators.
Instead of approaching my meetings with the “commission breath” and try to close a deal, I asked the types of questions you would ask in a discovery call:
If I saw that we could help them and they showed interest, I gave them a short pitch of what we do and offered to follow up after the event.
I’m quite satisfied with the trip. But the outcomes went beyond just generating leads.
Overall, Hannover Messe was a good time and money investment since I’m expecting to close deals that will deliver a good ROI on my participation. However, not all events have the same quality and quantity of prospects.

I recently sat down with Kjael Skaalerud, President of Skaling Ventures. He decided to carve his niche away from traditional VCs an Private Equity funds and decided to acquire and grow micro SaaS companies.
Kjael's contrarian approach focuses on small, profitable, and enduring businesses rather than chasing larger, venture-backed companies that often prioritize growth over profitability.
We covered quite a bit:
We also covered the teachings of Bruce Lee, Mark Roberge, Ray Dalio, and the Mandalorian (never thought I would put them all in the same sentence).
If you're in the SaaS space or looking to expand your portfolio, this is a must-listen. Tune in and soak up Kjael's hard-won wisdom.
