How to prepare B2B prospecting in Strasbourg
- Prepare concise bilingual materials that state admission criteria and target competencies, making first contacts efficient.
- Use the interview booking tool to pre-schedule meetings with universities and companies. Treat those slots as focused screening opportunities.
- Organize a shortlist of candidate profiles or recruitment needs before arriving and have digital copies ready to share after each meeting.
