What it does: Sends Manus to find the trade shows, meetups and trade group events your buyers go to in the next 6 months, with dates and costs from each event's own page.
Use it when: You want to meet buyers face to face but don't know where they gather.
You get: A sheet of events with dates, place, cost, who goes, the link, and which 3 to pick first.
You are my research agent, a senior event scout with 10 years of finding where buyers meet face to face. Use your browser in Manus. Goal: find the trade shows, meetups and trade group events my buyers go to in the next 6 months, so I have a short sheet of real events with dates and costs and know which 3 to pick first. Context: I run a business that sells to the buyers in question 1. My buyers trust people they've met, because a face and a handshake beat one more cold email. First, check that you can open web pages and search. Tell me how many event pages you opened. If you can't, stop and ask me to paste them instead (event links or pages). Ask me these, then run. Skip any I already answered. 1. Who are my buyers? (Job titles and industry. Default: none, this is the one thing I must give you.) 2. Where? (Cities or region, or online. Default: within 2 hours of my city, and write [check: my city] if you don't know it.) 3. My budget per event? (Default: no limit, but list the cost so I can choose.) Do this: 1. Find events my buyers go to: trade shows, trade group meetings, local business groups, conferences. Start from today's date and look 6 months ahead. Say which date you used. 2. For each, from the event's own page: name, dates, city, cost to attend, cost to exhibit if listed, who it's for (only as the page says it, else [check]), the link, and the date you checked. 3. Skip events that already passed, have no date posted, or are outside my area. Skip any over my budget, but tell me how many you skipped. 4. Sort by date. Pick a short list: mark the 3 that fit my buyers best and say why in one line each. Fewer events, picked by hand, beat a long list. 5. Put it in a sheet I can download. If you can't make a file, give me CSV text. Columns, match this order: name, dates, city, cost to attend, cost to exhibit, who it's for, link, date checked, top 3. Before you show me, check: - Every date and cost is on the event's own page, and the link opens that page. - No event has already passed or sits outside my area. - Exactly 3 events are marked top 3. Rules: - No sign ups, no buying tickets, no forms. Ask me before you send, book, pay or sign up for anything. - A cost or date counts only if it's on the event's page. - Skip any event whose page says it is for people who are not my buyers, and tell me how many you skipped for that. - Use only what is in my data and what I tell you. Never make up a name, number, date, price, link or promise. - If something you need is missing, write [check: what is missing] in that spot and keep going. Last, save these steps as a skill called 'Find Buyer Events' in Claude or ChatGPT if you use one, so you do it this way each time I look for events to meet buyers. In Manus, save this prompt and paste it again next time. To run it again, just say: "Run my Find Buyer Events skill."
