If people and sponsors are going to take you seriously then you better start brushing up on your grammar and presentation skills. The first thing I see when I see you now is how you spell and your grammar. ICK! Right there it will be hard for you to even get started down the road of sponsorships and proposals.

Next you have to have some kind of history in what you do. Not just some plain Jane stuff like the local Pep Boys car shows. Trophies help, but I got 5 sponsors before I started doing well in autocrossing. It's the people skills and presentation is what sponsors are looking for. What can you do for the company? Why should they sponsor you? What kind of kick backs are the sponsors going to get for helping you out?

Too many people think their sponsors should give them free stuff. Where it's actually what hard work and time can you put back into your sponsors?
