What Clients Are Saying
I was completely overwhelmed trying to figure out sponsorships until I joined the Sponsorship Lounge. Maria's advice during the 'Ask Me Anything' calls was honest and incredibly helpful.
Within three months, I secured two sponsors totaling $15,000-something I'd been trying to do for over a year. The downloadable templates and outreach scripts made it easy to stay professional and organized.
I've spent thousands on courses, but nothing compares to this membership.
The Savant Savvy tools alone are worth the price-especially the valuation workbook that helped me identify and confidently price my sponsor assets. I used to undercharge. Now I negotiate with confidence-and success.
Partnering with Maria and her team through cause and sponsorship marketing strategies has had a truly meaningful impact on the National Crime Prevention Council (NCPC). With their support, we were able to "Take a Bite Out of Crime" in new and exciting ways—amplifying our message, reaching wider audiences, and building connections with partners who are just as passionate about safer communities as we are. Thanks to this collaboration, we saw a noticeable boost in sponsor interest, increased visibility during Crime Prevention Month, and a strong surge in community engagement—especially around our initiatives focused on counterfeits, fentanyl awareness, and violence prevention. McGruff was howling with approval at the difference we made!
Maria is a wealth of knowledge, and a very great teacher! She's willing to share all of her experience with those of us that are just getting started, and the coaching sessions have been extremely helpful in building my confidence in sponsor outreach and ensuring we can seal the deals! She's extremely personable, down to earth, and easy to have fun with in the sessions, which was a huge relief to me. There's nothing worse than paying for a service and it not be enjoyable, but this was some money really well spent. As a new event venue, I'm certain our business will be more successful in the short term, knowing what we do in the first year, instead of waiting 5 or 10 years to figure it out the hard way!
Maria was incredibly knowledgable and a great resource. She helped guide me through proposals and conversations with sponsors. She's very accommodating with my crazy schedule and was an absolute pleasure to work with.
A consummate professional with heart for her causes. Maria has a knack for connecting like minded philanthropists and providing guidance on how to best serve our communities.
I highly value Maria's coaching services and recommend her without reservation. You'll benefit from her many years of hands-on experiences in cause marketing and sponsorships. Maria thinks strategically and has helped me get clarity when I didn't see what was right in front of me.
Maria was really instrumental in guiding us in optimizing our strategy for our event. Not only did she help us with the skills needed to land sponsorships but also how the event was to be curated. Highly recommend working with Maria!
