Label-group starter kits by event type

Ready-to-copy question-and-label sets for trade shows, conferences, hosted dinners, and roadshows. Seed the defaults, then paste your kit in five minutes.

For field marketers & booth teams · company admins · 4 min read · Updated July 10, 2026

Label design is a fifteen-minute job you do once — if you start from a working set. Each kit below follows the design rules: one question per group, single-select unless the fact is plural, and always an honest exit.

To use a kit: go to Settings → Workspace → Labels (personal accounts: Personal → Labels), tap Use defaults to create the standard groups, then add each kit’s labels with the inline Add field — renaming groups or questions where the kit differs.

Trade show — booth-first, high volume

The problem at a booth is volume: hundreds of scans, a hard split between real conversations and drive-bys.

Group · questionSelectLabels
Engagement Status · Did they engage?oneReal conversation · Drive-by / swag · Booth QR only · Didn’t engage
Engagement Depth · How deeply?oneFull demo · Walked the deck · Quick pitch · Small talk
Funnel Intent · Who are they to us?multipleDecision maker · Influencer · End user · Existing customer · Partner / reseller · Competitor
Outcome · What happened?oneMeeting booked · Send pricing · Send follow-up info · Invited to dinner · Not a fit · No next step

Booth Mode note: QR self-entries arrive unlabeled; Booth QR only is the wrap-up answer for entrants nobody actually spoke to — it keeps the qualified count honest without discarding the lead.

Conference — fewer, longer conversations

At a conference you’re not scanning a crowd; you’re having twenty real conversations in hallways and sessions. Depth matters more than volume.

Group · questionSelectLabels
Engagement Status · Did they engage?oneSubstantive conversation · Brief hello · Didn’t engage
Context · Where did we talk?oneSession / panel · Hallway · Meal or party · Pre-booked meeting
Funnel Intent · Who are they to us?multipleDecision maker · Influencer · Champion material · Existing customer · Analyst / press · Peer
Outcome · What happened?oneMeeting booked · Intro promised (theirs) · Intro owed (ours) · Send follow-up info · Not a fit

Why a Context group: at conferences, where you met someone predicts follow-up quality better than almost anything — a pre-booked meeting and a party chat deserve different cadences.

Hosted dinner / executive event — everyone’s qualified, stakes are high

Ten to twenty hand-picked guests. “Did they engage” is nearly useless; what you need is where each relationship moved.

Group · questionSelectLabels
Attendance · Did they show?oneAttended · Sent a delegate · No-show
Temperature · How did it land?oneAdvocate in the room · Warm · Polite · Skeptical
Role · Who are they to us?multipleEconomic buyer · Champion · Influencer · Existing customer
Outcome · What happened?oneNext meeting agreed · Intro to their team promised · Stay warm · Went cold

No-show is a skip label — one tap and the review moves on, but the fact survives (and next quarter you’ll want the list of who no-showed twice).

Roadshow / field visits — the same people, repeatedly

Multi-city runs and territory days produce repeat interactions with the same accounts — the multi-event thread matters more than any single stop.

Group · questionSelectLabels

Movement · Did the deal move?oneAdvanced · Held steady · Slipped · New stakeholder met
Funnel Intent · Who are they to us?multipleDecision maker · Champion · Blocker · New contact at account

Adapting a kit

Three checks before you call it done:

  1. Read each question aloud as a rep would hear it mid-show. If it needs a rubric, rewrite it.
  2. Count the labels per group. More than six? Merge until a tired rep can pick one without thinking.
  3. Find the honest exit in every group. If a group has no Didn’t engage / Not a fit / No-show, add one — the no’s are half the value of the record.
