Roberta Vigilance teaches you how to secure sponsors for events.

Roberta worked in sales prior to launching her event planning company in 1999 and securing sponsors. She had an event budget of $0 to plan her company’s events. Self-taught, after the word sponsorship or sponsor came into her realm but not the process, she learned the language that is needed to secure sponsors for events and combined it with her sale experience. As a result, Roberta closed and saved her company thousands of US dollars in sponsorship. Some of her events corporate sponsors include Adidas, Tommy Hilfiger, Rite Aid, and Coca-Cola among many others types of sponsors. Roberta teaches, by phone, an event sponsorship training course for professionals who are new to securing sponsors, and wrote and released How To Secure Sponsors Successfully in 2008 and recently released the third edition revised for seasoned and new sponsorship seekers.
