Heres what i love, teams that are just made looking for sponsors to give em money, or anything......u first look for any pb company that wants to give u a team discount, and guess what, when u start winning u tell em, win a lil and u start to get noticed, then u say to the company, very simply, "are u in or out?" When u ask for a sponsorship, u are at their feet pleading, and when u ask them, u have the deal, not them. Once u have a company that talks to u abotu sponsorship u knwo that u have the upper hand.
Personaly i ahve email and written letters to 100plus companys, pb and non related. Out of that i got 25 responces, and 3-5 offers, of which 2 were taken. Both are just discounts and a few free things......but when my team gets goin, and these few companies take notice, u have 2 things, i asked u when we started, u said no, and then u can talk to them and make a deal, but remember to do it right, and to talk to them in person, or in a formal letter or email.........i did a lil work, and emailed a bunch of companys, with the yo i have a team getting started and we want a sponosr and a business type letter. I actually got almost all responces from the business, and 1 offer i took from the yo thing, which ended up to be a empire sponsorship, which started nps sponsorships, i can say i was the first person to talk to emprie about beginner type sponsorship, kool eh
