Two phases. First we find out what your sponsorship is worth. Then I go sell it.

Every engagement starts with a paid 30-day diagnostic that puts a defensible number on your inventory. From there, you can build it yourself or bring me in on a retainer to run the pipeline and close the deals.

Phase One

The 30-Day Diagnostic

A paid audit and valuation. By the end of it, you know what your inventory is worth and exactly what needs to be fixed.

The Audit & Valuation

A complete diagnostic of your sponsorship program across nine operational areas, paired with a working valuation model, a defensible rate card, and a target list of named brands. Three streams of research run in parallel over 30 days.

What You Receive

At delivery, you receive:

  • A written audit across all 9 areas of the sponsorship program
  • A working valuation model and a defensible rate card
  • A tier structure with founding partner and category exclusivity positioning
  • An activation playbook with execution standards at each tier
  • Vertical-specific positioning frameworks for 4 sponsor categories
  • A target prospect list with category prioritization
  • A 3-year sales plan with realistic funnel math
What Changes

Your company stops guessing what its sponsorship inventory is worth. The portfolio has a written valuation defensible to a Fortune 500 CMO. Your in-house team has a sales tool that matches the inventory. The next sponsorship conversation starts with a defensible number, not a brochure.

At delivery, you decide. Take the plan and build it yourself, or bring me in to build everything out.
Phase Two

The Retainer

Five service areas inside one ongoing partnership, typically a 6 to 12 month commitment based on what the audit surfaces. The audit identified what to fix. This is the work that fixes it.

01

Sponsorship Infrastructure

Most organizations have inventory but no product. The first job is turning the raw assets you already own into something a brand will pay for, defend to their CMO, and renew.

What gets built
  • Tiered sponsorship packages: title, presenting, supporting, and category-level partners
  • Pricing models for single-tournament, multi-tournament, and full-season commitments
  • A professional sales deck and supporting materials suitable for national outreach
  • Engagement metrics and post-event ROI reporting frameworks

What changes: You stop guessing what your sponsorships are worth and start defending the number with confidence.

02

Prospect Pipeline

You cannot close what you have not identified. Every engagement starts with a prospect list built from scratch and a real pipeline you can see into.

What gets built
  • A targeted list of regional and national brands with demonstrated youth sports interest
  • Category prioritization across beverage, financial services, QSR, healthcare, sporting goods, and retail
  • A running pipeline with weekly status visibility and deal-stage tracking

What changes: The conversation about sponsorship stops being “who do we know?” and becomes “which deals are at which stage?”

03

Outreach, Negotiation, and Closing

This is the part most providers will not actually do. Building a deck and handing it back is not closing.

What I run
  • All outbound sponsor outreach, introductory calls, pitch meetings, and follow-up
  • Negotiation of terms and pricing within guidelines agreed with your leadership
  • Deal management end-to-end through signed agreement and first payment

What changes: Deals move forward without the executive director or commissioner making the calls.

04

Digital Sponsorship Strategy

Most sponsorship money still goes to physical signage. The bigger upside is in your digital footprint, and few youth sports orgs know how to package it. Ticketing impressions, streaming, social amplification, and proprietary player data all carry real value once they are specced and priced correctly.

What gets built
  • Digital placements specced across ticketing, streaming, social, and platform inventory
  • An advertising framework with sponsor visibility standards and impression-based pricing
  • Sponsor-ready digital assets and integrations, in coordination with your design team
  • Sponsor education on the value of digital activation in youth sports

What changes: Your digital footprint stops being free inventory and starts being priced inventory.

05

Ongoing Advisory

Sponsorship is not a one-time build. The value compounds when someone is steering it as your footprint changes and existing partners come up for renewal.

What you get
  • Sponsor relationship management and renewal strategy
  • Upsell and expansion guidance for existing partners
  • Strategic counsel as your tournament footprint grows
  • Weekly check-ins and a monthly summary of pipeline activity, outreach metrics, and deal progress

What changes: Renewals and expansions stop being a scramble. They become a planned rhythm.

Start with the diagnostic.

The initial consult is free. We'll talk through your events and what the audit would look at, and you decide from there. No pitch deck, no pressure.
