3 Small LinkedIn Strategies with HUGE Impacts

Are you actively using LinkedIn?

If not, LinkedIn can be one of your main sources of contact and research to find out who to connect with in partner/sponsor brand companies.

Just reviewing a brand LinkedIn company page and the profile of the person you are reaching out to (or having a discovery call with) before getting on the call can help prepare you with the right information to make an impactful impression.

The three LinkedIn strategies below, including a sample script you can use, will help pave the way to a YES with sponsorship and collaboration opportunities.

How to Find the Right Sponsorship Contact

Finding the sponsorship contact in charge of decisions for a particular brand can sometimes be a challenge.

That said, if you as the sponsor-seeker are willing to follow our 7-step collaboration and sponsorship model and invest a little time into sponsorship contact research, you will not only find the right person, you will likely impress them once you connect with them.

Sponsorship decision-makers notice when you have spent some time learning about them before the call (checking out their website, social media, press releases, and media).

Talking To Sponsors at Events: Well Worth Every Second

We see so many entrepreneurs miss important opportunities, and it makes us want to scream, “Slow down! This could be the opportunity that makes the difference!”

How many times have you attended a conference, trade show, or community event and either completely avoided the trade show/exhibit area or just visited the booths that totally excite you?

Ever walk around wanting to blend in with the audience so you don’t get “sold to”?

We totally get it. We’ve felt like that too. However, many successes that resulted from visiting the trade show, booth by booth, proved to us this was well worth the investment of time (and sometimes a bit of discomfort).

Making Friends With Company “Gatekeepers”

Getting past the gatekeepers within companies, brands, and organizations to connect with decision makers can sometimes be the most difficult challenge in building relationships with potential strategic partners and sponsors.

How can you overcome this challenge that sometimes feels impossible?

It’s actually pretty simple.

Make friends with the gatekeepers.

If gatekeepers feel comfortable with you, and “like” you, they are more likely to connect you with the person you need to know.
