How to make friends and throw kickass cocktail parties
In the past 18 months, I’ve hosted 6 cocktail parties in different cities like Cluj, Sofita, and Bucharest. Most of the guests I had never met in person, but they were all interesting people I wanted to meet. In this conversation that was previously aired on Michal Domanski’s podcast, I share my easy to follow process on how to host fun 2-hour cocktail parties that help grow your network.
Wait, cocktail parties?
Yes! They are a great way to deepen relationships and help bridge connections with other people. And hosting one is not as difficult you might think.

The End
It’s been a productive week so far as I’m preparing for the marketing through business podcast webinar, preparing to moderate a Women in Tech - Romania event next week around work/life balance (sign up here), and writing new content for the B2BPodPros blog.
I also have demo/sales calls with a couple of potential new sponsors and just renewed another 3-month campaign with a current client. Woo-hoo!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Eric M.
P.S. I’m planning on doing a podcast series on influencer marketing. Are there any guests you’d like me to interview or questions you want to know?
