Venture Hacks recently published a great article on scheduling meetings with investors, and we recommend using this format when trying to close a sponsorship with a brand/agency manager.
Note: this comes after you’ve met and given them an elevator pitch on your concept.
Key Points
- Respond immediately and be available to meet immediately
- BCC the introducer
- If you don’t live nearby, find out where they are and let them know if you’re going to be there soon
- Propose specific times to talk
- If there’s a deadline, politely let them know.
- Write less — you have no idea how busy a typical brand manager’s inbox is
