Many professional events take place during the summer: barbecues, inaugurations, alumni meetings... These events are all good opportunities to develop your network. Here we give you some tips to achieve this goal.
1. Choose the event well. Whether it is a cocktail party at a luxury club on the Costa del Sol or a reception at a luxury house in Sotogrande, making a choice is important. Prefer those events who will allow you to build a network of contacts having the greatest impact in relation to your professional objective.
2. Inquire before the event. It is essential to know who will be present at the event. For example, you can learn about participants through their LinkedIn profile or visit their company's website.
3. Make a good impression. Even if the atmosphere is informal, it is necessary to take care of your presentation and to adopt an elegant dress code. And most importantly, do not forget conventions such as bringing your business cards or looking people in the eyes when you are talking to them.
