Dealing with Vultures

👩‍❤️‍👨 Love Actually

Sometimes people go to Mundo Lingo and just so happen to meet that special person with whom they will have a relationship or even get married and having a family. We love that our events are a place for true love. If that’s a crime, then we’re guilty!

🦅 Vulture Actually

Sometimes people go to Mundo Lingo and just so happen to talk to every good-looking potential bed-mate they can find. We’re not here to judge, but there are places (and apps) for that, and Mundo Lingo is not one of them. For the purpose of this exercise, we refer to this person as “The Vulture”

Strategies

1. Atmosphere, Marketing, Peer Pressure

Use Maintaining Buena Onda to create a nice-vibes atmosphere + promo

2. Vulture Crashing

Mundo Lingo’s power is that anyone can approach anyone. Vultures can approach their targets unhinderd, but we can also approach vultures and their target unhinderd, so we do that. Gatecrash the vulture’s party.

When a known vulture is at work, discuss with your team and send a Vulture Hunter over to join their conversation. Join in and chat in a friendly way. The victim will now be able to focus their attention on you and freeze-out the vulture. If the vulture moves on to another target then send another Vulture Hunter, and then another and another until the vulture, in despair, finally leaves 🥳.

3. Peer Pressure

Social pressure is incredibly persuasive. Organise your team to keep tabs on vultures. If a vulture feels that the entire Ambassador team is watching, and then an Ambassador is approaching, another is walking past watching and so on, it becomes embarrassing for the vulture.

Avoid Authority, do involve Security if needed.

You, your team member or even the Manager may be tempted to have strong words with the vulture. Try to dissuade your team from doing this. If the vulture acts so inappropriately that stronger action is needed then escalate to the venues’ security team.

Now what?
