Former Tampa Mayor Pam Iorio to Headline Keynote Breakfast at our First Annual State Conference

Pam Iorio Promo Photo HiRes Working Women of Tampa Bay is proud to announce we’ve chosen Former Tampa Mayor Pam Iorio to headline our Keynote Breakfast at our First Annual State Conference.

Pam Iorio is the former two-term Mayor of the growing, vibrant city of Tampa, Florida, as well as a leadership speaker, advisor and author. During her terms, Iorio focused on economic redevelopment, helped revitalize the downtown area, and left office with an 87% approval rating.

First elected to public office at age 26, Iorio was the youngest person ever to win a seat on the Board of County Commissioners for Hillsborough County, Florida. At age 27, she was selected as chairman of the board. Now, as a leadership speaker, she delivers an inspiring and empowering message about straightforward leadership – the importance of leading yourself successfully so that you can effectively lead others.

Each guest at the Keynote Breakfast during our State Conference will receive a copy of Iorio’s leadership book Straightforward: Ways to Live and Lead (2011), which was called “the best business book of 2011” by Florida Trend Magazine.

9 Things That Can Increase Your R-O-N after an Event or a Conference

What’s your R-O-N or Return on Networking?

We spend a considerable amount of time networking in person because we know it’s still the most important way to meet the right people and build relationships with our colleagues, peers and potential new customers.

When you return from a networking event or conference, sorting it all out in an organized, systematic and timely way is the key to beginning the conversion from connection to relationship.

The National Association of Sales Professionals reports 48% of sales people never follow up with a prospect and 80% of sales are made on the fifth to twelfth contact. So, getting your follow up in motion as soon as possible and being in the 52% who follow up is smart.

Set aside some time immediately to prioritize the contacts you made, think about your follow up strategy and make sure you follow up in a timely manner. You will want to get back to people while you are both fresh in each other’s minds.
