Meet Chris Baylis
It took a lot of trial and error but after testing these concepts with tens of millions of dollars in sponsorship sales (and thousands of clients) I’m excited to share them with you.
I have now worked with thousands of sponsorship seekers, written well over 500,000 words on the topic and spoken at conferences all over the world, sharing the concepts identified in The Sponsorship Accelerator.”

Here's What People Are Saying...
My associate and I took a whole new approach to sponsorships for our annual event this year based on the suggestions of The Sponsorship Collective. It was overwhelmingly well received! We’ve done much more advertising and public acknowledgement of donors, reduced the number of people sponsors have to strong-arm into attending yet another of the dozens of events that happen in our community at this time of year, and we increased sponsorship revenue.”
Working with The Sponsorship Collective has allowed us to enhance our partnership program by instituting a “partner first” approach. We have implemented proper valuation techniques and continue to build out activations that put our sponsors interests first. Using The Sponsorship Collective’s methodology throughout process has been invaluable.
Toss everything you thought you knew about sponsorships out the window. Seriously.
The Sponsorship Collective has NAILED the sponsorship approach for our current fundraising climate!
Most of my sales experience comes from Corporate America. I was asked constantly to sponsor events but no one ever asked me what I wanted, what my goals were, very frustrating!
The Sponsorship Collective’s approach is a game changer!
THIS is what I had been looking for and I have already seen great success!
Engaging The Sponsorship Collective has been a game changer for us.
The tools, resources and the way in which Chris encourages you to approach sponsorship, is from a mutually beneficial, conversational standpoint. This turns the old school style of “asking for money” to a conversation between two partners that have like-minded goals and want to work together, making the term corporate partnership much more understandable and attainable.
Chris’s teaching methods are based off years of experience and learning from his stories of successes and tribulations resonates so deeply for anyone who has experience working with sponsors. He is approachable and always takes the time to dive into any questions our team has had. Chris genuinely wants you to succeed in securing partnerships that are meaningful for your organization and you end up feeling like he truly is a member of your team.
Hi Chris,
I just want to tell you how amazing that The Sponsorship Collective is and I'm not one to sign up for paid conferences or training online very often. I reached out to 18 people on Sunday with your email template and already got 11 meetings booked!
What an eye-opener it is to simply change your mindset and truly focus on what matters to the prospect! One prospect, who advised me that sponsorship has been cut back, said that our phone call today was the most fun he had all week!
He's now looking forward to receiving a custom sponsorship proposal draft which won't have any tiers!
Thank you!
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend your work to anyone else who has to solicit sponsorship!
Working with the Sponsorship Collective has been invaluable to us. We now not only have market tested valuations for our sponsorship properties, we have learned how to continue to build and refine our sponsorship strategies and approaches independently. They break down every step of the sponsorship process so that even a true beginner can employ their strategies and tools.
