Sponsor Pre-Show Preparation
Email strategy, buyer research, and pitch preparation. What sponsors should do before arriving at a hosted buyer event.
Email and relationship building
- Send relationship-building emails first — save the sales conversation for during the show, not before
- Introduce yourself and express genuine interest in their work before asking for anything
- The best organizers will hop on calls with you to prepare — take them up on it
Research every buyer
- Know their name, company, role, and recent news before the meeting starts
- Know your average deal size and have your ROI math ready before you arrive
- Prepare a tight 4–7 minute pitch — longer than that and you're wasting relationship time
Understand the event format
- Ask the organizer about meeting duration, format, and schedule
- Find out if there are networking events before or after — plan to attend them
- Know the venue layout in advance so you're not wandering on day one
