Han Leenhouts

Full time Exhibition and Sales Trainer and founder off Sales & Pepper.

Every day he crawls into the skin of exhibitors or even in the skin of the visitors of exhibitions or other live-events. This shows the immense possibilities of livecomm but also the most common shortcomings: Human Behaviour. Why do we act so funny if we want results but for real act so counter-productive? Why did Han start in this area?

Stand builder

After more than 10 years working for a stand building company, in which he serviced more than 1000 companies to exhibitions success. And during which time he also attended shows both in Europe, the US and Asia. He had people turning their back to livecomm. It was not worthwhile and all was based on gutfeeling. Looking at their behaviour Han discovered the so called “whole” in the market = Stand behaviour training & coaching.

Trainer
