Sample Sponsorship Letter
Sample Sponsorship letter for Motivational Keynote Speaker – Brad Montgomery
=
Note from Brad: I love working with sponsors, and have a black belt at helping them get the most from their investment. (And that is what it is about for them… and investment. They want to get their brand/services/products in front of your people. And this is an opportunity for them to do just that.)
It’s important NOT to turn my keynote speech into a commercial. Your audience will hate us if we do that. But it’s also important that your sponsor gets MORE than just a mention, a banner, and a handshake. I’m great at helping them get value without offending your folks. How? I use humor. I am able to joke about the sponsor, their talking points and their needs in a way that REALLY helps them get their info out there in a fun, safe way. And the audience will know who helped bring me in to speak to them, and whatever talking points they wanted to get across.
Bottom line: we can use humor to make everybody laugh AND meet the needs of the sponsor, you as a planner, and the audience as a whole.
Want to set up a conference call with a potential sponsor and me to discuss how we do this? Contact me here!
Ok, here is the sample letter. (Don’t forget to personalize it!)
