About.
LORI A. MANNS
Hi there! I’m Lori A. Manns, a trailblazing business strategist and sales coach based in Atlanta, Georgia. Welcome to Sponsorship Sales Secrets. This is the premier platform where you will find information on how to secure corporate sponsors and partners, as well as master your sales.
You see, 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, where I worked with Fortune 500 corporations. I sold them advertising/media plans, managed marketing campaigns and sold event sponsorship packages. My clients were mostly C-Suite managers. Selling sponsorships was and still is very challenging, but a lot of fun.
When I became an entrepreneur in 2009, I had to build my personal brand, company brand and my relationships as an entrepreneur. I had to prove myself, while establishing trust and credibility as an entrepreneur, not a corporate professional. It took time and I’m glad I put in the effort.
Experience.
SOME OF MY SPONSORS.
Here are just a few of the sponsors I have worked with as an entrepreneur.
I realized that I needed to go back to my sales roots and developed partnerships with corporations if I wanted to truly grow my business. Now I regularly work with corporations and local companies who partner with my business.
It was only after being asked by so many entrepreneurs, “how do you get sponsors?”, that I began to realize it was time for me to share the secrets. Shortly after, the Sponsorship Sales Secrets brand was born.
My goal is to share the knowledge and help entrepreneurs just like you to learn the trade “secrets” for working with sponsors.
Workshop Tour.
THE SPONSORSHIP SALES SECRETS WORKSHOP TOUR.
Prior to Covid-19, I toured across the USA teaching entrepreneurs about sponsorship in a 4 hour live workshop. In the future, there’s a good chance that I may be visiting a city near you when my tour resumes. However, for now, you can catch me online.
The reason I began touring was to help purpose driven entrepreneurs who desire to soar in business by creating a new revenue stream. If you’re ready to get to the next level in business, join my mailing list to be notified of when the tour resumes. However, you don’t have to miss out on this powerful training, in lieu of a tour, I am hosting a VIRTUAL EXPERIENCE. Join me for the live two day event so I can show you how to get 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.
As a business owner, it’s important to attend events that will help you grow your business. Lori’s events have helped me do exactly that. I’m so glad I attended the Sponsorship Sales Secrets Live conference. I learned the strategies necessary to secure my first grant from a corporate sponsor. Lori taught me a sales pitch formula which helped me create an effective message to convey the value of my organization when pitching sponsors. If you want a proven system to get sponsors and make more money, I suggest you attend Sponsorship Sales Secrets Live.
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 just want to give you a big THANK YOU to you Lori for hosting the Sponsorship Sales Secrets conference I attended. Everything was quality and on target. One of the exercises really identified a missing element in my sales funnel and closed a loop that was letting money walk out the door! This is a great event for entrepreneurs and business owners!
“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.
