Getting a sponsor?

[Speeding]

I need to ask a company to sponsor me for the Cape Pioneer. Any ideas on what to say and what to ask for? How about clothing and logo? Will be doing the event as individual.

You will need a "CV" and motivation on the sponsorship. You will also have to communicate your goals and objectives. You will need to demonstrate your ability to attract coverage for the sponsorship.

 

Also, there is a difference between a sponsorship and a charity case... which are you?

And unless you are a seriously talented individual, I still think a team would have a better chance of attracting a quality sponsorship vs an individual.

Probably a charity case wanting to take on the challenge with the big guys. I have a B rating with pedal power.

The company im approaching is actually a company that our family business deals with on yearly basis, and we do a lot of business with them. I did think of a team entry but the amount of money for a team is so much more and secondly i can not seem to find a team mate.

The stage race i have done was last years grape escape, also as individual.
