About the session:
Do you want to be actively engaging with corporate sponsors and need a place to start? Do you constantly get asked to fill out an online application, and then not hear back? Have you developed a beautiful sponsorship proposal that isn’t translating into revenue?
In this masterclass, I will walk you through the journey from prospect to partner. We will cover:
How to find prospects and get a meeting
How to use your proposal effectively to secure the sponsorship
The key steps to move from transactional sponsor to sustainable partner
How to unlock multiple revenue streams to ensure maximum investment from companies
I will leave you with templates and swipe files that you can use at all stages of the journey to corporate partnership. And there will definitely be time to respond to your specific questions.
