Holiday parties have a lot of tag team networking opportunities. It’s street smart to flip flop the plus one to VIP. And VIP to plus one.

I introduce my plus one to Tony Perkins and I woo the plus one. Charming the plus one is the counterintuitive method but it is highly effective. It is street smart to spend critical party minutes with the plus one.
