How can Speed Dating help in a social event?
More and more, entrepreneurs have been innovating their portfolios by promoting events like Speed Dating and Business Matchmaking.
Perhaps you are familiar with the term Speed Dating through American series and movies. The movie “Hitch” portrays in a fun way how single people meet at this event.
Speed Dating serves to facilitate quick encounters between two participants at a time (a man and a woman). For instance, each woman, at the end of the meeting, will have conversed with all the men present. Typically, the woman stays in her place, and when the buzzer sounds, the man moves to the next table (next encounter).
It is an excellent opportunity to introduce oneself and connect with new people. Since the time is relatively short, each participant needs to be well-prepared to optimize it for both asking and answering questions. Thus, each individual encounter is scored.
Participants have the same amount of time for their introductions, and it is possible that an invitation for a second meeting to get to know each other better may arise… that is why making a good impression during the initial presentation is a fundamental step.
At the end of a Speed Dating event, the couples that are the most compatible (according to the assigned scores) can get to know each other better and perhaps start a relationship.
You may be wondering, “How can I promote an event like this?”
So, the answer is simple! Perhaps you know of an interesting venue for this event, such as a restaurant. The Business Matchmaking software automates the entire process:
- controls the time
- emits a signaling sound
- generates individual identification
- and also organizes the sequence of tables
In conclusion, it is an excellent option that entrepreneurs have embraced for:
- increasing their revenue
- innovating their portfolio
- establishing partnerships
- earning commission (from participants’ consumption)
- contributing to new relationships
- among others
Certainly, the key aspect put into practice in both Business Matchmaking and Speed Dating is to facilitate quick encounters among participants and ensure that everyone has an opportunity to get to know each other.
