243: How To Get Paid By Brands - Sponsorship 101 w/ Jessica Chinyelu

Meet Jessica Chinyelu aka “The Sponsorship Lady” - a Nigerian-American wife and mompreneur based in Dallas, TX. She’s the Founder of a non-profit organization Woman of Purpose where she hosts annual conferences. She also teaches people how to secure corporate sponsorships and has worked with brands such as Herbal Essences, Kroger, Gillette, Walmart, Reebok, NYX, and Brinker International to name a few. 

On this episode, Jessica gives us dream drivers a crash course on how to secure sponsorships. She shares the knitty gritty and lets us know what we can start doing TODAY to start seeing results.

Some of the topics we discuss include:

• Sponsorship tactics to AVOID
• What are brands looking for?
• Why data will always get you more
• Why “My brand is small…I can’t get sponsorships” is not true
