Scott,  I was in the meeting with the PA Sprint Series in October when you presented at the end of the meeting.  One thing I noticed was that you told us then that you had $160K in sponsorship secured then.  Here we are 3 months later and you gave the same figure here.  So in theory you have not gained any additional funds.  I am willing to let that go as an lack of economic stability.   Another thing that I asked you in the meeting was that if we the teams would have the ability to meet with the sponsors during the negotiation processes and your response was no unless there were mulitiple teams that were quaified for their resources and they couldn't choose.  I'm sorry but while it is appreciated to have somebody do the cold calls and leg work, if i was a business I would want to meet the people I am going to be partnering with, not the middle man.  I know sometimes the team might be asking for more funds then they need and can ruin the deal, but I still feel its a good business move to at least deal face to face. 

You said you had  record label and sold it several years ago.  Who did you represent?  Finally, why is your telephone number not on your website?  If it is on their I cannot find it.

For the record, you may have misunderstood the conversation. It is absolutely critical that the Teams meet with the Sponsors, but after the Sponsor has been signed.  How else would the Sponsor know who they were Investing in? Or how would the Race Team know what they were agreeing to? We do not bring the Teams in until the deal is signed and it is determined the Marketing Events that the Company is seeking.  Many of the Companies that we are selling to are not the traditional "Beverage Distributor", "Mom & Pops" nor the Pizza Guy down the street. They are interested in Branding and Marketing.. Understand, we do not sell a Single Team (Unless that Team has offered the lead to that Sponsor) We sell the Sponsor Packages, then find the best Team in our Network for the Sponsor.

Again, I will remind everyone when we began, we offered this Service, FREE. Only to collect on the Sponsorships that we secured. And the skeptics said it was "Too Good Too Be True" and the interest was luke warm. Now that we affixed a Fee, and show a value for that Fee.  The skeptics are still saying it is too good to be true.. Unsure how to help those who only want to find fault in the system. If you do not believe in what we are doing, then do not join. I have offered this Companies Services to everyone, regardless of type of Racing and WILL help those who believe in what we do.

I am learning that it will not matter what I explain on here, it may not be enough. So we will continue to work hard for the Team Members that are in our Network and continue to grow that Network.

I do appreciate everyones interest in the Topic as it is an important one. And the choice will always be yours, to get assistance or you can always choose to do the search for Sponsorship the traditional way, on your own.

In regards to my personal Number on the Website, please know this is a National Company and we find it easier to have the Teams fill out our Interest Form on the Website and then depending on location, have the appropriate Team Rep contact them. I believe I offered in the meeting you attended my Business Card in the Package we distributed then. If you are interested in contacting me, please go through our Website and I will gladly reply accordingly.

Respectfully,

It would be a good idea if your company can show it is actually getting sponsorship dollars to teams. What teams will speak up about you? You need to show success stories that are fact based. 

Your website only lists 2 product partners and in general says a lot without really saying anything at all.  Prove you walk the talk or this will go nowhere. I hope those that had no luck and paid you get refunded.

I tell it like I see it.
