Draft
I would like present whole process how get a sponsor.
what can you get working in FR??
Good FR-person is:
Be carefull about discouragement (zniechęcenie)
What's important in FR ??
 Preparing !!
 It's mean: knowledge about AEGEE, about project, about what you want from company letters,
PR material etc.. but about that later.
Is FR so hard ??
NO, you need only time.
Do I need experience? (ania kotnis)
Not especcially. It's enough your time (quite much) on the beginning and hard work. When you are
getting better you need less time.
How much time I need for FR ??
If you are looking for 3-4 sponsors, you need call at least to 30-40 companies. It's take about two
weeks, 20-30h/week  for one person.
HARD WORK == SUCCESS
knowledge about negotiations, communications and image it's not so important!! ( my mistakes 
running and metodysci )
When I should start FR for project ?? (etapy pracy.. ile na co pracy??)
(it's depends. What project, what kind of companies. I started about 1-1,5 months before the event,
but sometimes it was not enough)
What I need to know before about the project starting the FR??
 patrons, media patrons, what PR will be , the target group of project, budget(you will know what
you can get from sponsors)
Strategy of FR??
why?
Limit the number of companies to approach
Decide on the approach you are going to have
Make a task division in your team (who is responsible for FR?)
you have to know what do you want sell!!!
Companies never just grant money. They sponsor events or publications for three main reasons:
increase of sales , image and prestige, recruitment.
So you have to know:
 who is interested in target group
 who want show his/her kindness (WASKO  they cooperate with university  maybe ??)
 who has special sponsoring programme...
Where can I find a companies ??
 yellow pages, internet, past co-operation, internal cooperation (old member)
Then you need list of potential sponsors ( one branch  20 companies)
You are a partner for company. Remember it! You don't ask for money, you offer a
cooperation.
What you can offer to sponsors??
advertising (brochures, logo on printed material & the web etc)
information stand at the conference
distribution of their promotional material during the event
mailing to the members
press releases, press conference etc.
help
What I need on the beginnig?
 letter to sponsors ( typical letters  mistakes?? what sponsors really want know?? look up)
 offer for sponsors ( what you can offer, be flexible, ask what he want? Don't offer everything for
two breads --- be responsible)

CALLS
 introducing yourself

3-5 calls on the beginnig  training ! Take for that companies, which you are quite sure that answer
is NO. That calls can gie you knowledge what the rest of companies can give you.
Calls to one branch in one, two days. Why ?? easier to choose the best offer.
What I should say on the beginnig?? cooperation, promotion, sponsoring ?? it depends what they
want hear.
