a good professional resume and a sound proposal. you are trying to sell the potential sponsor your advertising sevices. you need to tell him what you are going to do for him, be specific, numbers, demographics etc. Do your research and make sure you are sending it to the right person.

A sponsorship is a simple, basic business plan.

If I were to be approached, I need to know in one paragraph how I'm going to benefit and how you're going to deliver if I choose to fund your operation. If you can't do this or it goes over 4 or 5 sentences, stop now. Don't waste your time. There's no one out there looking to sponsor a boat. You have to sell them. And you have to open up to the possibility before you can start to sell anything. And stay the f.uck away from anything that looks cute or you think is an attention-getter. I work hard for the money I spend on advertising (which is what this is) and I want results. Tell me how.

Now that you have your paragraph, start fleshing it out. I need an executive summary. 1.5 pages max. This tells me if I want to go further or not. You're not going to nail the prom queen on the first date and you're going to have to romance me a bit before you get much time or any money. You had a whole paragraph to sell me on reading a page and a half. Don't screw it up. It needs to be compelling stuff. How my business benefits. And show me you took time to understand my business and how this fits in. If it's a generic approach, forget it. I get enough telemarketing calls from people that can't pronounce my name. And I'm hanging up on you too if you don't hook me.

Beyond that, it's a next-step. No piece of paper can sell anything to anyone. If you get past this step, you need a personalized presentation delivered by you. And stick to the strictly business stuff. If I don't like you, my clients that I'm bringing to your races sure as hell won't. So be prepared to show me what I'm going to experience.

Like all things in business, stop thinking about what you want and focus on what your prospect wants. If you can give that to them, you're getting yours automatically.

Good luck. Put something together and come back. We'll mercilessly rip the $hit out of it, but you might get closer to something that will work.

[catastrophe]

Thats my boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He does it all.

Just ask and give him 3 minutes.
