28_7 Steps to Get Ready for Sponsorship Sales

That Sounds Like a Plan!

Sponsorship sales is one of the most important, yet most daunting, tasks for your fundraising event. It’s not just something you can dive into. There’s a lot of prep work that needs to happen behind the scenes before you can begin. I break it the prep work down into 7 steps.

In this episode I share:

• Why you should have a clear definition of your target audience
• How to break down creating a budget and set your sponsorship goals into easy steps.
• The importance of having realistic and measurable sponsor goals and benefits
• The best place to start when creating a sponsor prospect list
