Re: sponsor questions
Seriously....Depends on how professional you want it to look or your relationship with this guy. If you are trying to impress him write up something on Word and cater to playing tournies near or around his employment and state as such like Raliegh,Burlington,Charlotte,M. Beach. That will open his eyes to potential markets there for his business. Let him know how many tournies you plan on playing. Safe bet is to say 2 and express your desire to play in ther States,Nationals, and World. If you play 3 he may want to pick up the tab depending on how your team is competeing. Ask him what colors he wants and if he is willing to help pay for the unis and let him know where his companys name will show up on jerseys and that it will show up on message boards and at the tournies. Also when your team is out eating folks will ask about your team name and where is it located and what it does. If no dice on unis just get team to pay as you can get decent deals as a team. Just sell the marketing and pr his company will get and if you get ANY hardwear like a 4th place plaque take it to him and make sure he knows his efforts are appreciated by you and your team. Just my thoughts as it has worked in the past for me and my guys.It does help to have a round about figure in your head for amt of tournies,balls,unis...but itemize those cats as well and have it with you. Good luck...
