Core Activities:

---

1. Establish Sponsorship Tracking Infrastructure

• Create a centralized Sponsorship Acquisition Tracker (spreadsheet or CRM system).
• Fields should include:
  • Sponsor name
  • Industry and sector
  • Contact person and email
  • Sponsorship tier (Platinum, Gold, Silver, etc.)
  • Deal status (Prospecting, Contacted, Proposal Sent, Negotiating, Closed, Activated)
  • Deal value (monetary or in-kind)
  • Payment status
  • Expected deliverables and deadlines

Tool Example: Google Sheets, Airtable, Microsoft Excel, or CRM platforms like Salesforce or Zoho CRM.

2. Track New Deals and Partnerships

• Record and categorize:
  • New sponsors acquired (first-time partners)
  • Returning sponsors
  • Partnerships still in negotiation
• Identify:
  • Top-performing acquisition sources (e.g., cold outreach, referrals, inbound interest)
  • Industries contributing the most revenue

KPI Examples:

• 15 new sponsors secured this quarter
• 60% of outreach proposals led to closed deals

---

3. Monitor Sponsorship Revenue Progress

• Compare revenue collected vs. revenue target.
• Break down revenue by:
  • Tier (e.g., Platinum = R500,000; Gold = R250,000)
  • Payment schedule (paid, partially paid, pending)
  • Type (cash, service-based, product-based)
• Visualize trends with graphs/charts for internal reviews and presentations.

Target: Achieve 100% or more of the sponsorship revenue goal for the SayPro Festival.

4. Evaluate Sponsor Benefit Fulfillment

• Use a Sponsor Deliverables Tracker to check whether agreed benefits (e.g., logo placement, social media promotion, booths) were delivered.
• Document delivery dates and media evidence (e.g., photos, links, publications).
• Share interim and final fulfillment reports with each sponsor.

Success Metric: 100% fulfillment of contracted sponsorship benefits.

---

5. Conduct Sponsor Satisfaction Surveys

• Distribute a post-event survey to all sponsors, asking about:
  • Overall satisfaction
  • Communication and support
  • Visibility and exposure
  • ROI and brand alignment
  • Likelihood to sponsor again
• Include both rating scales (1–5) and open-ended feedback questions.

Goal: Achieve a minimum of 90% satisfaction score and ≥75% renewal interest rate.

6. Analyze and Report Results

Prepare formal reports for internal and external use, including:

A. Monthly Sponsorship Performance Report

• Summary of new deals signed
• Current revenue vs. target
• Challenges and opportunities
• Sponsor engagement activities

B. Festival Sponsorship Final Report

• Total number of sponsors
• Final revenue collected
• Fulfillment summary with proof of delivery
• Sponsor testimonials and feedback summary
• Recommendations for future improvements

These reports support planning, transparency, and accountability across SayPro teams and stakeholders.

7. Identify Trends and Insights

• Which sponsorship packages were most popular?
• Which communication strategies converted the most leads?
• What feedback did sponsors give about their experience?

Use this information to:
