Part 9/10:

Building successful sponsorship relationships demands ongoing engagement. Regular check-ins—whether through casual meetings, meals, or informal conversations—help sustain the relationship. Setting shared goals, discussing ambitions openly, and seeking feedback are vital components. As demonstrated by Tien Chong and Gima, consistent communication about career aspirations and progress reinforces trust and opens opportunities.

The event highlighted the importance of being approachable and persistent. Continuing outreach—via WhatsApp, LinkedIn, or industry forums—demonstrates initiative and commitment. As the attendees learned, sponsorship is not a one-off event but an ongoing process of relationship-building and mutual support.
