Client Stories

Suzanne Balcom

Dental Facilitator and Speaker

“It's all about relationships!" That was my sponsorship take-away message when Charmaine Hammond presented her amazing daylong seminar to CAPS Atlantic in Halifax, Nova Scotia this spring. Charmaine lifted the veil of secrecy regarding partnerships and sponsors and made me understand that my strength and ability in building relationships was all I needed to secure sponsorship and partner in-kind and financially with virtually every business that I already do business with.

Immediately I secured sponsorship and funding that was waiting for me all along, I just didn't realize it and I never knew how to ask. I immediately shared what I learned from her with 3 of my colleagues and they in turn have done the same. Charmaine is a game changer.

Mark Black

Inspirational Speaker

Thank you Charmaine for inspiring me to ASK and be creative with how I get things for my business.

Cate Collins

Charmaine presented at our Canadian Association for Professional Speakers convention, and I was extremely impressed by her solid base of sponsorship knowledge, her generosity of spirit, and her dedication to support people. Since that time, I have had various contact points with Charmaine, and I have filled up more notebooks with all her creative suggestions on sponsorship. Charmaine is your obvious "go to" person for any of your sponsorship needs. I am up to 10 sponsors right now for my various events and plan on many, many more.

Thanks Charmaine for being that lighthouse of knowledge and insight!

FAQs

Q: Have these 7 steps been tested? How do I know they work?

A: Charmaine and Rebecca have both been using these steps for many years for building collaborations and sponsorship relationships. Their Raise a Dream clients are using these steps to find sponsors and partners.

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 1-day intensives, 3-day retreats, 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
Cash sponsorship
