First, I have to respond to the one, one-star review here from Rafael D. It appears he went through the same program I did at right about the same time. If someone fell flat on their face after taking this program, I'm 100% convinced it has something to do with that person, their effort, the sponsors they sought, or what they were trying to get sponsored... because this program gives you EVERYTHING you need to be successful - you just have to do it, and do it RIGHT! I am a 25+ year professional trainer who develops and delivers training programs for a living. I can 100% say this is one of the very best programs I've experienced. When I started the program, I thought I already knew a bit about securing sponsors having been through another program, but I quickly realized I knew nothing. If you think that securing sponsors is about reaching out to people and asking them for money to support your event/project/program, this program will show you why that hasn't been successful for you so far. This is an in-depth program that will take you from the very beginning of the sponsorship process - which starts with identifying what you REALLY have to offer sponsors - to steps for successfully reaching out to sponsors -- and everything in between. And, you're going to be surprised at every step along the way that you never knew needed to be taken to be successful. Not only is the content in this program amazing, so are the materials and support. The course is chock full of excellent templates and worksheets that have really helped me elevate my sponsorship process. The added bonus was all the support available through weekly calls, the Facebook group (where you can learn from other sponsorship seekers from diverse backgrounds and with differing goals), and the awesome coaches who are there for you all the way. Finally, other programs will take your $ and then you're on your own. Not this one. If you start slowing down or falling behind, they reach out to see how they can help - because they REALLY CARE that you're successful in securing sponsors before the program ends! I can't say enough good things about the people involved in this program and the program itself. read more

As senior-level marketers, my business partner and I were excited about the potential benefits of The Sponsorship Collective and signed up for their $8,550 package based on the promises made during the sales process. Unfortunately, our experience has been disappointing and has not lived up to the expectations set by their sales team. We were led to believe the program would provide personalized guidance and strategic insights to help us grow, but within days of starting, it became clear that the program wasn't a good fit for our business needs. Despite raising concerns early on, we were encouraged to continue with the promise of a customized consultation. During that call, which we recorded, the representative admitted that the program might not be suited for us. After this acknowledgment, we formally requested to withdraw from the contract, citing misrepresentation. Our legal team reviewed the situation and concluded that the program as sold was not what was delivered, rendering the contract voidable. Unfortunately, despite numerous attempts to resolve the issue, we've yet to receive any resolution or refund. While the initial sales pitch was compelling, we caution others to thoroughly vet what's being offered before committing to a high-priced package. In our experience, the value did not align with the cost, and customer support has been less than satisfactory. We hope our experience serves as a warning to others considering this program. After multiple requests, The Sponsorship Collective denied our request for a refund. Given that the program is based in Canada, we ultimately determined that pursuing legal action would likely incur costs exceeding the program's cost. Despite this, we feel it's important to share our experience as a cautionary tale. We strongly advise others to carefully evaluate the program before committing to a significant financial investment, as our experience did not align with the promises made during the sales process. read more

Making the decision to work with The Sponsorship Collective was one of the most impactful decisions we made in 2020. Building the organizational capacity to approach sponsorship properly and effectively is essential to our financial viability. The methodology and tools provided by The Sponsorship Collective completely changed our mindset, confidence level, and ability to define and put a value to what we have to offer prospective sponsors. This enabled us to have successful conversations with prospective sponsors, and we increased our sponsorship revenue just a short time into the program. The tools we acquired continue to be of great value. We can identify prospective sponsors that are a good fit and who will want to work with us because we can offer custom solutions to help them achieve their goals. Chris and the team were truly responsive and dedicated to helping every step of the way. Highly effective program. Great team. I look forward to working with the team again. Highly recommended! read more

Our management was skeptical about investing a few thousand dollars into the Sponsorship Accelerator program, but just a few short months later we have made up those costs 20x over. This is an incredible program with proven results. The team is highly knowledgeable, supportive and motivating. I highly recommend the program to anyone looking to significantly up their game in the sponsorship realm. The first prospect we chatted with using this format was blown away -- "we've never been able to answer the "what can we offer you" question from other orgs." -- we worked closely with their team to discover some very unique activations that benefit their employees as recruitment and retention is their priority. We are now having fun with implementing the activations and working toward this becoming a multi-year commitment. It is an intensive program and you have to make the time and put in the effort, but it really works! Christine Major Gifts Manager rare Charitable Research Reserve, Cambridge, ON read more

I have found so much value in the Sponsorship Collective from day one, I did a lot of research about sponsorships and worked for months before finding Chris Baylis' & his amazing team - I was able to learn & understand more about it in a few days from the SC than I had gathered in those 3+ months of work on my own. I highly value the way things are organized and explained, with clear insight from experience offered around every corner, in every step of the videos, assignments, interactions with coaches, and FB community, I honestly feel I cannot fail. We have no choice but to succeed as long as we use these many incredible resources! I couldn't be more excited to have found them, I've seen a lot of things in my research & experiences, so I try to express my appreciation properly for Chris and his dedicated team for providing such comprehensive resources along with the insight they've gained through their experience! Thanks guys, cheers!!! - Mikenzie Tavenner Hardman, Founder @ Bitches n Brews read more

I decided to ask my board to fund the Sponsorship Collective Accelerator program after binge watching Chris Baylis' very helpful video tips. I didn't know what to expect, but I was not disappointed. In fact, I raised more sponsorship money in our first few months of the program than our organization has EVER raised!... including a $30k multi-year partnership that I helped secure in our first 3 days of the program! The Accelerator is composed of fascinating videos that break down Chris' fundraising advice and tools into simple, achievable steps. The Valuation Calculator alone is worth more than the cost of the entire program. I can't WAIT to next participate in Chris' Million Dollar Property program that will teach me how to secure more large, multi-year partnership deals. I'm now the Sponsorship Collective's biggest fan and am happy to respond to any DMs about my experience with them. SC ROCKS! read more

Working with the Sponsorship Collective Team was amazing. TSC gave us the confidence, all the tools and skills that we needed to be successful in approaching and presenting to sponsors. The program is fun to follow, the documents that we need to present to the coaching team are logical and well-thought. The coaches are there to follow up and you will feel supported 100% of the time. The coaching calls are motivating and really helpful. TSC was a great investment for the upscaling of our business. It was challenging at some points, and the constant support of the team made us successful. We are now confident in approaching sponsors (and big ones!). We are happy that we didi it. Looking forward to developing this part of our business and more! read more

There is no question in my mind that the Sponsorship Collective has done more in 6 months to move the needle in my business than anything else I have done to this point! Chris and his team are providing a framework for a program that just works and is different than anything else out there. After working with them your prospects will take notice of your company and more importantly you will be delivering and providing and ROI for your clients that keeps them coming back to work with you year after year. You will not be disappointed and I can promise that if you follow this program you will scale your business! Love the Collective and the Program. read more

I've been a student of some of the most cutting edges sponsorship procurement minds out there. IEG, Sylvia Allen ... and others. Chris Baylis and the Sponsorship Collective has the most concise, user-friendly, competent and effective methodology I've seen. And the valuation calculator is worth the price of admission. It cuts the workload by 70 percent by not having to extrapolate the value of each promotional asset or earned or paid media. And, there's not pulling numbers out the blue sky ... it's verified and based on fair market standards. It's a good y'all. read more

I absolutely loved my time with The Sponsorship Collective, in particular, the Sponsorship Accelerator. It was a lot of work but the support from the coaching team, templates and, most of all, the amazing community made it such a great experience. I joined the team thinking of sponsorship as nothing more than sales material design and "getting in front of the right people" but learned that there is so much more to getting sponsors than I thought. Most definitely recommend. read more

The Sponsorship Accelerator was hands down the best investment I have ever made in my professional career. I gained so much knowledge about sponsorship and was able to put it to practice and leave the program with 8 sponsors in 90 days! The modules, coaches, and feedback are all top notch! read more

As someone who was brand new to sponsorships, I was helped tremendously by The Sponsorship Collective. I was able to create a solid foundation for building a program and have grown our sponsorship revenue by 5x since taking the course. Thank you Chris Baylis and team!!! read more

The process worked for me. I used the tools, followed the process, engaged the consulting team and closed a title sponsorship for my festival. It wasn't easy but it was simple and it worked. Highly recommend. read more
