year, and now with Eloisa Tran chairing our sponsorship sales this year.<br>
<br>
Wondering if there'd be interest in participating in training for groups<br>
around the Python community?<br>
<br>
For PyCascades, we were profitable as an org our first year. Eloisa joining<br>
as our leader of sponsorship sales, we doubled, we may triple our gross<br>
revenue.<br>
<br>
One example tactic I can share –<br>
<br>
<br>
1. Eight days before the conference meets on February 23, I sent out<br>
reminder emails to past supporters of PuPPy, my group in Seattle<br>
2. The email copy was targeted to remind past supporters of PuPPy, we<br>
are hosting PyCascades in Seattle this year<br>
3. Please alert their staff that we are approaching sell out<br>
4. Got 15 new registrations that totals in about $2000 in additional<br>
revenue<br>
5. A silver level sponsor for $8000<br>
<br>
My goal would be to include as many concrete examples like this in the<br>
training. Eloisa was trained by the Anita Borg Institute to lead<br>
sponsorship sales for Grace Hopper Conference. She donated $250k to<br>
numFOCUS running sponsorship sales for PyData Seattle 2017, with about 800<br>
attendees.<br>
<br>
Let me know. I'll collaborate with Eloisa to create curriculum to share<br>
with everybody.<br>
<br>
What does everybody think?<br>
