Yes, at times it really does. I can remember once or twice such an interruption stopped the closing of a sale. If you have ideas for juggling such a situation I would be forever grateful.

Julie: Yes! I do have an idea for handling questions in a booth. Tell me, is it usually an issue that you have a lot of people in and out of the booth and answering questions gets in the way of helping others?

I get the same questions over and over, but this happens *much* more often when I do a show, not so much in my inbox. I’ve even considered hanging a FAQ in my booth, but I don’t know if such a thing would go over well! Any suggestions for handling this in person? When you answer the same questions for the 50th time in a day, it’s difficult to NOT sound rehearsed or like a recording!

What a great solution! I love how creatively addressing what could be a problem has become something of benefit to everyone!

It doesn’t seem to occur to them that they are inconveniencing those who take the time to answer their questions, nor do they seem to have the concept of Googling or doing their own research *first*.
I am quite happy to assist when I can, but really the onus should be on the questioner to try to find their own answers before asking for help, not asking for help as an automatic default mode.
Goodness knows almost anything can be found online without that much effort if you know how to type in the right keywords.

thanks,
jan
