I have to chime in here to promote Bruce's tape. He has a lot of great
advice. The tape is a recording of a workshop he gives. Here in VT
(Bruce is a Jeweler in Middlebury and his wife owns a craft gallery)
we've had many opportunities to see Bruce, but if any of you have a
guild that gives workshops consider getting him. He gives great advice.
He does a bunch of different talks including one on designing a good
show booth.
One example of Bruce's theories:
When someone is in your booth or shop browsing and shows a bit of
interest, what is your icebreaker first sentence? If it's "can I help
you?" you need Bruce's tape. That's a big no-no: they can say "no
thanks" and that slams the door to more dialogue... If you say
something like "please let me know if I can answer any questions" or
something like that, they say "oh, thanks" and the door remains open.

I had a look at www.jewelersresource.com there is an enormous amount
of information for any one who is selling or working as a business.
Well worth a visit.
