In this chapter, we share the tips and tricks from tradeshow and factory visits to make your engagement with the supplier successful. We begin with the three-circle control framework that sets out the three areas in which buyers can be exposed to risk. Next, we discuss the strategies and tips for making the most of your tradeshow visit. Finally, we discuss the tips and strategies for successfully completing your factory visit.
