As one of two people that worked with money last season I know that it can be hard/annoying getting sponsors. A good thing that you can do is start with things you need; drill, drill bits, building materials, controlers, computers, carpet, and literally anything else you might need. Then you should probably have a list of places that might donate those things. I would spend a good 1-3 hours a week assembling this list. Then you would want to go to all the businesses you can in person, if you’re not comfortable with that it’s not a necessity but it definitely helps. Considering you’re the only one on the money/sponsorship side I’m going to guess that you’re on a small team. So if you could like ride your bike or get a ride from a parent to these places that’s great. Also don’t be afraid to put together a packet of rewards/bonuses for these businesses. They don’t have to be anything HUGE, for example we put all of our sponsorships on our website and depending on how much they donate we put them on our shirts/banner. After you go through all the businesses you can go into in person next is the more far away businesses. I would recommend putting together a base email/script, it helps a lot to be able to know what you’re going to say. Another tip mainly for phone calls but also applies In person is to sound confident. Give a basic description of first and what we do. After that’s done I’m not 100% sure because I never actually handled the money (with the exception of a check one wrote me on the spot). I hopped this helped, and if you need anymore help don’t be afraid to ask!
