Relationship Builders

Relationship Builders is a networking event that takes place every other Friday at Aston Gardens of Tampa Bay from 7:30 to 9:00 am. This event is specifically designed so that members can; educate fellow chamber members about their products/services so that they can be a source of referrals, have a safe place to practice their 60 second commercials (elevator speeches) and longer presentations AND get timely feedback and reinforcement from fellow members and have a place to ask other local business professionals about your own key prospects so that introdcutions and/or connections can occur. Connect with Jerry Peruzzi for more details.
