A Place For Networking

Are you a Twitter Newbie? At the bottom of the Blog is a Video for those of us who want to learn about Twitter.







Restaurants, Lounges, and Coffee Shops can be great places for hosting your networking group.
If -- you pick the right place. You favorite bar with the hottest dudes or chicks may not be the place to further your business or career. A crowded loud coffee shop with the best vanilla lattes may not work either. So -- what do you look for? Having spent the last 20 years behind bars....I mean working in bars I have listed things I would consider.

1. Location - Is it twenty minutes or less from the bulk of your group? What about access to major freeways? Hollywood is great but you ever driven down sunset during rush hour?


2. Parking - Plenty of free parking is great, espcially in city areas.


3. Ambience - Noise Level, Lighting, Crowd. Is it easy to hear each other? Can you see the face of those you converse with? Is the crowd loud, obnoxious?


4. Space - Depending on the size of your group, what kind of space can you get? A private room would be ideal. Free internet? Large tables? Or cocktail tables to pull together? Time, how long can you keep the space?
   
5. Management - This is the key to it all. Will the management work with you. If you just starting out you may only have 10 people show up. Does management demand a minumum for the space or are they flexible, willing to work with you?
   

We hosted a real estate Mixer at La Villa Basque. Not too many people showed up. We are trying to attract group, club, and corporate business so we want to work with group and help them grow - help them to succeed. We may have just covered our costs but a few more people saw La Villa Basque and what we have to offer.

So if you need help planning and hosting your next event call me Joe @ 626-202-4251 or visit our website http://www.lavillabasque.com/ and let's talk.
