Need a break
Coordinate Breaks Before You Leave
ALL TEAM
Do not simply disappear.
Before you leave the booth:
- Tell the team
- Confirm who covers your area
- Say how long you expect to be away
- Return when agreed
Breaks are normal. Unplanned gaps are not.
Keep Breaks from Creating Gaps
Breaks are normal. Gaps are not.
Before someone leaves the booth, confirm:
- Who covers their role
- Whether any meeting is coming
- Whether language coverage changes
- Whether a demo or conversation is waiting
- Whether the booth still looks covered
Quiet moments are the best time to rotate breaks.
Communicate Before You Leave
Before you go for a break, tell the team.
Say:
“I’m stepping away for ten minutes. Who is covering the front?”
Check that the booth is still covered before you leave.
This applies to breaks, food, calls, side conversations, and quick visits to other stands.
