Chevy & Mother's Resume

[chevy]

Hey everyone,

I've finally got a start of resume for sponsorship put together. I guess I'm just looking for some input. I know there are a lot of people on here who are on one side or the other, and I would appreciate comments from either side.

I tried to model it somewhat after Marcia Rubens resume. i liked her style, while still getting her point out.

I think the format looks nice, but overall it doesn't define "how" you will do things for your sponsors.

Example: If I say "I am going to increase brand recognition for your company." That is a pretty broad statement with very little factual information to back it up.

However, if I say "I will help your company increase brand recognition by utilizing my access to large scale advertising tools. These avenues include but are not limited to television, radio, print publications and the internet."

That was a rough example but from there you could go more in-depth about each segment and explain exactly how each will be used.

Good Luck,

JT Bagwell

Hey girl, welcome back.

JT has a good point.  another example.  To many of us, we already see that the fact mom owns the shop says that the sponsors product will be in the publics eye.  Explain how you would use the shop for product exposure,etc.  

Get more pics.  I'll be the one to say it but a good looking girl sells product and you are fortunate to have that going for you, use it.  You and mom make a cute mother/daughter team, push that too.  Notice all Marcia's pics.  She's always having fun and some of the pics actually show her in action.  A pic of Chevy explaining a bait to a youth in the store, at the rack, tourny shirt on,...comes to the front of my mind.  Things like that.  SELL SELL SELL

Also.  Personalize the resume for each company you submit it too.  For example.  Lets say "Solar Bat" is the company you are approaching.  Do your homework.  Perhaps, in your area, there are only a few places that sell angling gear, yours being one of them.  Explain how the area has 2 stores, one carries costa del mar only.  There is an opening for someone to fill the other aspects of that market other than the $150 pair of shades.  A niche that is open is a great selling tool if you provide a solution to fill that niche.

Offer a full package to get that product in your area.  Store sales, stickers, name on shirt, promos at store and tournys run from store/marina, etc

I think LBH was tip toeing around a little bit.

Your avatar picture makes you look constipated.

Seriously,  look at the photo's Marcia has chosen.

They are all extremely flattering.   Her logo is enough to catch any mans attention.

You may not want to get involved in the sexist aspects of bass fishing.  

I don't blame you, but it is a male dominated sport.

A pretty girl, will get attention.

If you have an asset - Use it.

wishing you all success
