How to build
corporate partners, sponsors and champions for your book, project or cause
What if you could have other businesses pay for your book
tour?
What if you found other businesses to be part of your cause?
What if a business purchased your books or products in bulk for
charitable organizations and people in need?
What if your book tour didn’t cost you a cent?
One of the things I LOVE talking about is building a circle
of corporate champions, partners and sponsors.... the last 20 minutes of this
show I talk about my favorite tips on this very topic!
My six favorite tips for building a circle of champions and
corporate partners are to:
1)
Build relationships. Relationships are key!
2)
Community clearly, often and purposefully.
3)
ASK for what you need. People don’t know how to
help you if you don’t ask.
4)
Follow up, keep commitments.
5)
Recognize partners and sponsors in meaningful
ways.
6)
Exceed expectations.
Here are a few tips for presenting your concept or project
to a potential sponsor or partner:
-
Have
clear concept
-
Be excited and passionate
-
Practice your sound bytes
-
Look for the reciprocity
-
Do your research
-
Plan and have a process
