Sponsorship Inventory & Valuation Workshop
Assisting you to determine what your non-profit may have within your organization to sell that is worth real value to a sponsor or prospect. We will look beyond the traditional inventory benefits & into what companies are seeking from properties in a sponsorship package. This workship will provide you with the tools, systems and real life experience and scenarios to seek out within your organization, new and unique items that you may have to sell that sponsors want to buy.
Brent will also teach you to determine and place "real market value" for each and every one of your inventory benefits and assets, be they tangible or intangible. This will utilize industry accepted standards and formulas for calculating value to ensure you walk away with the necessary tools to value your own property assets.
This is a must attend workshop for any organization seeking to generate more revenue.
