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.

Maria didn’t just give advice—she listened deeply and then delivered practical, personalized strategies I could apply immediately. My 1:1 call clarified exactly what I needed to do next with my sponsorship deck and partner list. Within weeks, I was in real conversations with brand partners.

The Genius Bar feature is brilliant. I had a last-minute sponsor call and needed feedback on my proposal. I submitted a quick question, and Maria’s response helped me tighten my pitch. That call ended with a $7,500 commitment. That one answer alone paid for my membership.

I expected coaching, but I didn’t expect to connect with such an amazing community of peers. The Founders’ Slack group has been one of the most valuable parts of my membership—people generously share resources, feedback, and wins. It’s inspiring to be surrounded by others chasing big impact too.
— I Christina Figueroa, CSR & Community Impact Leader⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Before this program, I didn’t even know what assets I had. The Valuation Lab taught me how to break down and present what I offer in a way that sponsors understood and appreciated. I now have a clear framework and plan for approaching potential partners.
