Speakers, trainers, keynote presenters, and seminar leaders... have you started growing your business through collaboration and sponsorship?
If not, now's the time to get started. There are billions of dollars available in corporate sponsorship, and your next presentation, speaking tour, book launch or philanthropic project could be uplevelled in income, impact, and influence through corporate sponsorship.
Recently, Charmaine led a mastermind session with speakers who have a successful speaking business and are committed to now building their speaking business through corporate sponsorship and collaborating with influencers.

Charmaine asked the speakers to generate a list of where sponsorship could help their project, dream, next speaking event, or their overall speaking business.
How Sponsorship Can Help You
Here are a few of the many ideas the speakers generated... Pay close attention to those that resonate with you:
Prizes for your event
Travel (hotel, meals, airfare, luggage, car rentals, etc.)
Technology platform and subscription fees
Venue space, food and beverages, and meeting needs/supplies
Scholarships (funds) to cover registration costs for people who cannot afford to attend your events
Printing
Marketing materials and swag
Video production
Photography
Clothing
Just take a moment to think about this... How many more people could you serve if these needs were covered by sponsors who are aligned with your values and are a perfect fit for your audience (and you for theirs)?
That kind of synergy may lead to ideas you haven’t considered yet and creative ways that your message can evolve.

Hi Charmaine! I am a fellow EBC member and I would like to get corporate sponsorship to fund hiring a specialized marketing agency that will advance our organization and world-changing Movement. I don't have time to learn how to do this myself and am wondering if it's possible to work with you to do this for us. I do not know anyone personally in a large corporation but I do have a great list of possible sponsors. If working with you is a possiblity, I'd love to talk with you.
Thanks for writing, Stacy! I'll send you a direct email to put you in touch with Charmaine so you can chat. Thanks for posting! ~ Stacey Terry, Dream Team Support
