This article was originally published on The Sponsorship Collective website. Email is a fabulous tool to help warm up cold calls…except when it isn’t! I hear from clients and colleagues all the time that their e-mails are not producing results. They send out 1,000 emails and hear nothing back. I have had excellent results using email to help open doors and I see truly horrible examples of email marketing every day. Let’s talk about why nobody is replying to your emails. YOU TRY TO MAKE THE SALE.

So how can you ensure a successful relationship with your corporate sponsor? The sooner you understand that the more you can advocate for your sponsor. Corporate sponsors want to see their logo anywhere and everywhere on event collateral. Corporate sponsors want to be recognized for their generosity: Acknowledge them in public speeches, board meetings and interviews with the press.

"Sponsors are not mentors. Sponsors are powerful leaders who see potential in you and, provided you give them 110 percent, will go out on a limb to make things happen for you," explains author Sylvia Ann Hewlett in her new book, Executive Presence. She adds that because sponsors have a vested interest in how you turn out (your reputation now being linked with their own), they will give you the kind of feedback that mentors can''t or won''t.
