SponsorPitch is a platform, not an agency. SponsorPitch does not make decisions for, represent or endorse sponsors.
Yes, but first make sure it's not already on SponsorPitch. If it is, find it and click the "Work Here?" button. If not, create a new property page in about 2 minutes. Having a property page on SponsorPitch not only lets you promote your property, but also allows our system to start generating algorithmic leads, alerts and insights about which sponsors are the best fit for your property. Create a property page at sponsorpitch.com/properties.
Start at sponsorpitch.com/sponsors. Start by using the filters at the top of the page to run a filtered search that will present you with targeted sales leads at the bottom of the page. Click through to a sponsor page. On each sponsor page, you can research the sponsor's business overview, key people, submission guidelines, analytics, key markets, deal history, agencies and tips to ensure the sponsor is a good fit for your opportunity. To submit a pitch, click the People tab and connect with decision makers.
First, find and affiliate yourself with your employer's sponsor page if one has already been created. If not, create a new sponsor page in about 2 minutes at sponsorpitch.com/sponsors.

SponsorPitch offers three types of subscription plans: Prospector, Professional and Agency. Prospector is great for helping you discover and research potential partners, while Professional gives you proprietary data analysis and real-time targeted intelligence so you can get smarter about your very best sponsorship leads.

Great question! SponsorPitch lets you build follow people and companies in one list so you can see the updates for just the things you're interested in. Say you're looking for a new auto sponsor, you may want to start following the auto category. Once you're following, you can subscribe to email alerts. For instance, if you're following General Motors you may ask to be notified any time another auto brand signs a sponsorship deal. Finally, you can keep notes on any company you're following so it's easy to remember where your last conversation left off and you have documentation of all your conversations with prospects.
When a page is edited company representatives, it will feature a green badge next to its company logo.

Rule #1 of SponsorPitch: pitch with plenty of lead time. According to a recent poll, 63% of SponsorPitch members are actively pitching for more than 6 months out of the year. Now, we can’t say for sure that you won’t make valuable connections within a week or two of your event, but we can say for sure that your odds improve the farther in advance you start. SponsorPitch makes this possible by providing tools to monitor and mine for your best leads throughout the year.
Member profiles are profiles that are actively managed by other SponsorPitch members. Communication via the message button shown on these profiles goes directly to the user's SponsorPitch inbox. Depending on the user's contact settings, they are most likely notified by email when receiving a new message. Contact profiles, on the other hand, provide contact and social networking information for an industry decision maker who is not yet a member.
Cold calls are a thing of the past. These days, it's all about building trust even before the initial sales conversation. Information is one way to do that. SponsorPitch lets you quickly research companies so the person you're looking to connect with likely think you've done hours of homework on their company, when in fact SponsorPitch allowed you to do the equivalent level of research in minutes. Social networks are another great way to build trusting relationships before the sales call. Most contact profiles include social network links, where you can really get to know decision makers before making your pitch.
Highly customized pitches usually generate more interest from sponsors. While SponsorPitch members often use the platform to research hundreds of sponsors, we have found that the most successful sellers typically only actually reach out to a few highly qualified sponsors with a customized idea that is rooted in research and submitted through multiple communication channels including direct outreach to decision makers (found on the People tab) and contact with the sponsor's agency (found on the Agencies tab).
