"Alex is straightforward and knows her stuff. She's not afraid to use a red pen! She makes your proposal tight and ready to entice your prospects to say "Yes." I highly recommend you let her help you create winning sponsorship proposals."

"Working with Alex was so incredibly helpful for our Women's Product Entrepreneurs and Inventors Summit we recently held in San Diego, CA. Her expertise as a sponsorship consultant brought a whole new level of professionalism and strategic insight to the sponsorship component of our event. From the moment we began talking with Alex, it was clear that she was fully committed to understanding our vision and goals. Within a short amount of time, she helped us craft a Sponsorship Deck that not only showcased the unique value proposition of our Summit but also resonated deeply with potential sponsors. Alex didn't just stop at creating a compelling deck; she went above and beyond to provide strategic guidance on approaching sponsors and maximizing our sponsorship revenue. Her invaluable advice helped us secure key partnerships that significantly enhanced the quality and reach of our event."
