The Conference
LORI A. MANNS
Hi there! I’m Dr. Lori A. Manns, a trailblazing business strategist and sales coach based in Atlanta, Georgia. Welcome to Sponsorship Sales Secrets Live. This is the premier platform where you will find information on how to secure corporate sponsors and partners, as well as master your sales.
My background is in radio sales and marketing. I spent nearly 20 years of my professional career, working for top radio stations in Atlanta and Nashville. During my media career, I worked with Fortune 500 corporations and sold millions of dollars in sponsorship. I sold major corporations advertising, media plans, and sold event sponsorship packages as well as online (digital) sponsorship packages. My clients were mostly C-Suite managers. Selling sponsorships was and is challenging, but a lot of fun.
When I became an entrepreneur in 2009, I had to build my personal brand, company brand, and business relationships as an entrepreneur. I had to earn a reputation as a small business owner while establishing trust and credibility as an entrepreneur, not a corporate professional. It took time, effort, and persistence. However, I was willing to put in the effort.
Experience.
SOME OF MY SPONSORS.
Here are just a few of the sponsors I have worked with as an entrepreneur.
In an effort to grow my small business, I knew I needed to leverage my sales skills and develop partnerships with corporations if I wanted to diversify my income and grow my business. Today, I regularly work with corporations and local companies that partner with my business.
After being asked by so many entrepreneurs, “how do you get sponsors?”, I realized it was time for me to share the secrets. Shortly after, the Sponsorship Sales Secrets brand was born.
My goal is to share my knowledge and expertise to help entrepreneurs just like you, learn the “trade secrets” of working with sponsors, primarily corporate sponsors.

SUCCESS STORIES.
Here’s what others have to say about Lori’s Sponsorship Sales Secrets events:
Lori is the best in the sales industry. She is a powerful mentor, motivator and business expert who has helped me grow my marketing and sponsorship skills. After attending Lori’s Sponsorship Sales Secrets workshop, I enrolled in the training program as well as recommended it to a colleague. The comprehensive nature of the material covered teaches the vital steps of sponsorship selling step by step. The training helped me to identify and approach decision makers to maximize relationships I already had so I could close new business. Not only have I used the strategies I learned to help my for profit business but my nonprofit organization as well. If you want to grow your business, I highly recommend you work with Lori.
I thoroughly enjoyed attending the Sponsorship Sales Secrets Live conference in Atlanta. Using the sponsorship sales pitch and other strategies I learned from this live training event, I secured my first sponsorship from a national Fortune 500 company. Now I have the blueprint to continue to develop sponsorship as a revenue stream for my business.
I attended Lori’s Sponsorship Sales Secrets Workshop training and it paid off. I followed the lessons and implemented the strategies and within one week, I secured over $25,000 in sponsorships.
I’m so thankful that I made the decision to work with Lori. After attending her Sponsorship Sales Secrets Conference, I gained insight and knowledge about how to approach sponsors and pitch my business. The training Lori provides is comprehensive and second to none. She is very detailed in her approach and teaches you real strategies to help you get sponsors. After the sponsorship training, I was able to secure three local sponsors for my inaugural event. Now I have the foundation to build upon to grow my business and add more revenue in years to come. If you want to position your business for success you must work with Lori.
“I’m so happy I attended the Sponsorship Sales Secrets Conference. It was a huge eye-opener and helped me to see how I can position my brand for incremental revenue. After attending the conference within a few months, I closed two sponsor contracts for over $25,000. This is one of the best training events I’ve ever experienced. Now I have a real plan for getting sponsors and it will be an attainable goal for my brand.
Lori is an awesome business coach who cares about helping her clients succeed. I’ve received tremendous value from attending her workshops and conferences, particularly the Sponsorship Sales Secrets Live which is an excellent training conference where Lori provides entrepreneurs with comprehensive winning strategies to increase sales by securing corporate sponsors. I highly recommend you work with Lori if you want to grow your business.
“I thoroughly enjoyed the Sponsorship Sales Secrets Live event. I was super excited to win the Sponsorship Sales Pitch competition. Lori’s sponsorship sales pitch formula is top notch. Attending this event was time well spent and I learned quite a bit. Now I feel like I can confidently go get sponsors for my business.”
