Q: Have these 7 steps been tested? How do I know they work?
A: Charmaine has been using these steps for many years for building collaborations and sponsorship relationships. Our Raise a Dream clients are using these steps and processes to find collaboration partners and sponsors to support their projects, bring projects to life, and create a bigger impact.
Q: Will this product help me get sponsors?
A: This product will help you understand the exact steps to find potential (and the right fit) sponsors, build meaningful relationships with them, have success in discovery calls, and turn objections into opportunities. The video helps you avoid the mistakes that most speakers and entrepreneurs make (which result in no’s). When you know these 7 steps (and actually follow them), you have a much better chance of finding and keeping sponsors. Keep in mind that getting sponsors takes some time and work on your part. Many times, people want the “magic fix” to short-cut the necessary work. In sponsorship, there is no magic fix. If you bypass the necessary steps, you will land yourself a lot more rejections than opportunities. But, when you follow the steps and put in the time, you will see results!
Q: What kind of success are your Raise a Dream clients having?
A: We have clients who have had different types of and levels of support. Some have used this model in other programs, attended live or virtual workshops, or pursued 1:1 mentoring with us. The clients that put the training into practice are seeing great results. Here are a few of many of the results:
- No fee speaking engagements sponsored (so the speaker is paid their fee by a sponsor when otherwise the speaker would have turned the opportunity down)
- Travel (hotel, car rental, food)
- Printing (such as retractable standing banners, car magnets, handout packages, postcards, business cards, branded USB sticks, bookmarks, swag, and more)
- Bulk orders of books purchased by sponsors
- Media and marketing
- Clothing, accessories, hair styling, cosmetics, jewelry, health products, spa and personal services
- Sponsorship for podcasts, book launches, events, and fundraisers
- Cash sponsorship
- And so much more
