How not to be an idiot when talking to sponsors!

Money, yep that says it all, without it everything turns to shit!!!!

When people ask a sponsor such as me for money so that they can put our logo onto their shirts and websites or go and represent us – what are you really saying to me???

What you should be saying is, “Hey Joe, by investing in our team the money you spend will come back to you 5 fold and here are numbers that prove that our sponsors have seen significant gains in sales since they have been associated with us”.

Incase the Monster propaganda has diluted your brains, that means for every dollar I spent with you I will get back 5 more from sales that you helped push to me somehow”

That sounds great - right?

But, what most of you say is, “hey Joe, give us money and we will help make your brand and give you exposure by being part of our team.”

If you don’t see a difference you’re an idiot, plain and simple.

Ah, money that what’s it all about, Xfuel needs to sell drinks to make money and then we can spend more money on people who make money for us – get it – very freakin simple – why they don’t teach like this in school I have no idea?

So, even the big brands like Monster in the last 6 months have cut back sponsor dollars in big way. We personally know an Xgame gold medalist who lost mid 6 figure sponsor deals with Monster – why? He may be great at what he does but he doesn’t have loyal fans that do what he tells them to do.

What the frig is Joe saying? If I told you to eat shit, would you? Of course not!!!! If I gave you a free bottle of Xfuel and said drink it, you would do it on the spot – right?

There’s the difference, if you can make people do something they wouldn’t do on their own then your value to sponsors is off the charts!!!!!!!

More on this tomorrow I’m going somewhere good with this.

  1. i have been wanting to do something big with xfuel..joe you know what i am talking about with a huge chain, which will make the money you are speaking of. just waiting on you and the write up so i can present it to them. i really want xfuel to be huge! why you may ask? because this is the best stuff out there.. nothing tastes like it, the b-vitimans in it kicks butt, which is also great for hang overs (if u are a drinker) and of age. doesnt give u the shakes, doesnt make my heart race, the taste doesnt make u gag. it is a great taste. everyone who has tried it says they want it in their stores. but anyways i understand what you are talking about. you have to apeal to the company to are trying to get to sponcer you. everyone should know that.

  2. So the real question for all the teams wanting xfuel sponsorships out there... What do you have to offer to xfuel? How are you going to help sell xfuel? Answer those two questions and we can talk!
