Top Tips From Vickie Saunders On The Fitness Business Podcast
Here is what resonated for me on this weeks podcast with Vickie Saunders on how to connect with sponsors and partners to benefit your fitness business:
“Powerful networks lead to valuable partnerships” – Vickie Saunders
And Vickie’s top tips were:
- Partnerships and sponsorships are all about mutual contribution for mutual effort.
- Face to Face contact is great, over the phone or skype is ok, but email is a no no! Remember you are not asking for something, you are creating something awesome together.
- Negotiation is about having a conversation where you are trying to find a common solution.
- Some of the best opportunities are staring us in the face – think about what is close to you – you might be surprised what you find.
