Lead Retrieval

This is the area where you can create, view, and edit the leads you have obtained during the conference.

Leads

In this section you will see all the leads you have tracked as an exhibitor or if you are an admin you will see all the leads tracked.

You must create an Exhibitor by clicking Exhibitors in Lead Retrieval section and then clicking the Create New button. While adding the exhibitor's Information it will ask you to fill in their first name, last name, e-mail, and to set their password. You'll also note their role is pre-set as an exhibitor.

Exhibitors can log on to the Leads app (Apple Store Download) with the credentials provided by a conference admin to start collecting leads. Once they have scanned the badges of Attendees the stored user information in conftrac.com will become available for them to retrieve after the conference. The Exhibitor may also quickly add notes to each scanned attendee to save for future reference. Using the same login credentials via http://conftrac.com will get them access to an export file of these leads and notes.

Registration Options

The other options aside from editing the registration form you have here allow you quickly confirm all registrations using the Confirm All button and the Share Option.

Confirm All

Confirm All could possibly be used if you want to quickly add every received registration form regardless of it's phase. This will make more sense after reading The Registration Process section below.

Share

This area allows you to get iframe html code to add the registration form to your own website, offers quick Social Media options to share information about registering for the conference, and finally a direct link that you can e-mail to possible exhibitors so they can register for the conference.

Send Payment Instructions

Use this button to send all the pending exhibitors the payment URL/information to complete the process through PayPal. This is only necessary if you are using PayPal through Conference Tracker and online payments are activated.

The Registration Process

This area can get confusing for first time users so this next section is here to help clarify the process of exhibitors registering for the conference.

The next topic to discuss is the life-cycle of a registration goes through several phases in this order:

  1. Pending or With Error
  2. Paid & Pending (Can be skipped if you set to auto-accept paid registrations.)
  3. Accepted or Discarded.

Pending or With Error

Pending

This means that the Attendee has filled out the registration form but it has not been approved. This phase is when the attendee has not paid for the Conference. From here you can select the option on the Attendee's line to “Send Payment Instructions” as pictured above.

With Error

These are the registration forms that have been completed with errors. Several examples may be the e-mail address was formatted incorrectly like “mi ke@abc.com” or the phone number is missing a digit like “407-555-555_”. Here you'll have the ability to make these corrections.

Exhibitors will only show up in this phase if “Auto-accept when payment received” is not turned on in the conference settings. Here you can manually accept the exhibitors who've paid their registration fees.

Accepted or Discarded

These are lists of all the Accepted Registrations and Discarded ones you chose to delete.

Accepted

This is a list of all the Accepted Registrations.

Discarded

This is a list of all the Registrations Discarded you chose to delete.

You can look at each of these using the drop-down box labeled View in the top right of the Online Registration screen (pictured in the screenshot above).
