How do you pronounce it?

/kontaɡtos pɾofesjonales/

In many Spanish-speaking cultures, professional contactos are often built through confianza, a deep sense of personal trust that must be established before business is discussed.
In Spain, effective networking is frequently inseparable from the ritual of the café or a lengthy lunch. Attempting to 'get down to business' too quickly during these social interactions can be perceived as impolite or overly aggressive.
In many Spanish-speaking countries, the phrase tener contactos can imply that someone is using influential connections to bypass official rules or bureaucracy. This gives the word 'contactos' a slightly more opportunistic connotation than the neutral English 'contacts'.
