Cork Chamber Events
Our Top 5 Tips...
1. Book Early! Most of our events sell out, so book early to avoid disappointment. This also means others can see you on the list and ensures you get a name badge for ease of networking.
2. Use the List! You can view the attendance list and see who else is attending, as well as planning who you want to talk to and what you want to say.
3. Be Prepared! Come on time and ensure you have business cards and most importantly your "elevator pitch" ready to go, you never know when you might need it!
4. Work the Room! Don't be shy! We're all there for the same reason, to meet new contacts, nourish existing relationships and broaden our network.
5. Follow up! Follow-up with the people you have met, either via LinkedIn or arrange to meet for a coffee, you never know where it might lead... |
