Summary

Sponsorship Outreach & Sales Specialist — Results-Based Looking for an experienced sponsorship outreach and sales specialist to secure corporate and community sponsors for a children’s book-giveaway initiative supporting elementary school students. We already have: * A proven sponsorship model, including a completed $2,500 corporate sponsorship * Professional sponsorship materials * Defined sponsorship opportunities and pricing * An existing list of approved potential sponsors * A clear community-impact story This is not a strategy, audit, research, lead-generation, or list-building project. I need someone who can actively contact approved prospects, personalize pitches, follow up consistently, schedule qualified conversations, and close paid sponsorships. Responsibilities * Review the existing sponsorship package and successful sponsorship example * Contact only prospects approved by the client * Personalize outreach for each company or organization * Conduct professional follow-ups by email, phone, or LinkedIn * Track all outreach, responses, follow-ups, and prospect status * Schedule qualified sponsorship conversations when necessary * Move interested prospects toward a written commitment and payment * Coordinate with the client throughout the closing process Compensation and Completion Requirements This is a results-based sponsorship sales opportunity. The fixed-price budget is $250 for one successfully secured $2,500 sponsorship. Payment is earned only when: 1. The sponsor was approved by the client before outreach. 2. The sponsor provides written confirmation of the $2,500 sponsorship commitment. 3. The full $2,500 sponsorship payment has been received and cleared by the client. The milestone will be: Secure One Paid $2,500 Sponsorship — $250 Research, contact lists, outreach attempts, emails sent, follow-ups, responses, meetings, proposals, invoices, verbal interest, or promised payments do not qualify as completion of the milestone. Additional successful sponsorships may be added as separate milestones under the same compensation structure. There is no separate payment for strategy, audits, research, lead lists, or trial work. Ideal Candidate * Proven experience personally securing sponsorships, partnerships, donations, or business-development deals * Strong cold-outreach, follow-up, negotiation, and closing abilities * Comfortable communicating with American businesses and corporate decision-makers * Able to provide specific examples of sponsorships or partnerships personally secured * Organized, persistent, professional, and focused on measurable results * Experience with corporate community-giving programs, education, literacy, veterans, youth initiatives, or nonprofit partnerships is a plus Important Requirements * All prospects must be approved before outreach begins. * All outreach must be personalized and professional. * Generic mass emailing or spamming is not permitted. * Outreach activity alone is not considered a completed deliverable. * Applicants must accept the results-based compensation structure as written. To Apply Please answer the following questions: 1. What sponsorships or partnerships have you personally secured? 2. What was the approximate value of those deals? 3. Describe how you turned a cold prospect into a paid sponsor. 4. Are you comfortable receiving $250 after securing one paid $2,500 sponsorship? 5. How would you approach this opportunity using our existing materials and approved prospects? Please do not apply if your primary service is list building, marketing strategy, research, lead generation, or creating sponsorship decks.
