Sponsors pay a pretty penny to attend a Pro-Am event... Average costs to play in a Tour Pro-Am golf event: PGA Tour: $20,000 - $35,000 LPGA Tour: $12,000 - $20,000 Champions Tour: $10,000 - $15,000 Korn Ferry Tour: $5,000 - $12,500 Each package typically offers hospitality benefits, signage, food and beverage perks, gifting... etc. Sponsors are crucial to the financial stability of these tournaments, yet each Pro-Am event offers the same experience for them. In a highly competitive space, each tournament has a team of representatives looking to sell sponsorship opportunities. If you were called by a representative from Event A offering the same experience as last year... OR Event B, who chose to elevate their experience with VIP Player Services... Which one would you be more likely to choose? By consistently seeking new ways to enhance the sponsorship experience, you pave the way for enduring partnerships that not only elevate your brand but also foster lasting relationships. Embracing creativity in sponsorship strategies not only captures attention but also nurtures connections, ensuring sustained support and growth for your brand in the long run. #competitiveadvantage #strategy #proam #golfevents #pgatour #sponsorships #lpgatour #relationshipbuilding

2024 & still Climbing 📈 Since 2008 we have excelled in increasing golf outings, memberships & rounds per year. As a semi-private profitable club these are 3 key ingredients. In this post I am just talking vaguely about golf outings & membership, but ultimately hope to get others to engage in this industry on this topic. As a GM, Pro, or event coordinator- What are the tools that you find to help your club grow. Times are changing, outings are looking for more attractive sponsorship activation opportunities, more fun, and a smooth process. Our job is to make this process as smooth as possible. We need to stay innovative to accomplish these things. I.e investing into the club itself, educating ourselves on what is out there in the market and staying open-minded. These thought processes correlate with membership as well. Are you building a community/brand with your club? How well are we doing with connecting our staff with our members/clients? I see many gaps in this field when I visit other clubs, talk to other pros, or even when I book a new golf outing from a different club. If these are gaps you are expierancing reach out to me.

We’ve won a seminal piece of business! 🏁🥂🏎️ And no, I don’t mean we’re now working with a sperm donation clinic… But in the wide wide world of Bagshot & Berkeley Red this is something we’ve been working towards for a while… A good client we’ve been doing bits and pieces of ad hoc work for over 4 years recently announced they had signed a multi year main sponsorship deal with an F1 team. This was music to our ears. Especially given how we have positioned ourselves as a specialist agency in F1. As with all sports sponsorships it’s not just about the logo on the shirt or car… In fact at 200 mph you’ll be hard pressed to see any sponsors logo! The worth for the sponsor is in activation and due to the great relationship we have built with them they have chosen us to help them activate this sponsorship. Kudos to Joe who has lead this relationship for us. Everything from extra VIP hospitality, travel & team guest management at Grands Prix to special events to driver appearances to competitions and other brand activities on and off line. It’s not necessarily the size of this first piece of business which is around the British Grand Prix - we’ve had bigger (😉) - although an £80k- £100k deal is nothing to be sniffed at. It’s the type of business and onward relationship & opportunity it presents us with this sponsor. And who knows - maybe other sponsors will trust us to look after their requirements too. It’s been years in the making to get to the point of having business and a relationship of this type signed and sealed. To pull out a cliche beloved of LinkedIn - there really isn’t any such thing as overnight success. Now, back to your dictionary folks to look up the 2 differences in meaning of “seminal”… #f1

Couldn't agree more with Vinod Mistry here - whatever stage you're at in the programme lifecycle, having a highly-skilled team unified by a singular goal not only ensures an effective initial implementation, but ensures that success is sustainable long-term. Building on his post, I think that some businesses neglect certain expertise when ensuring that Salesforce is adopted effectively. For example, a Programme Director in my network and I were discussing how pivotal effective PMO, Governance and Change Management are to ensure effective adoption for the business. Whilst technical and strategic expertise are pivotal when determining business case, scoping the body of work ahead, build, etc, having the right expertise in place to ensure adoption post go-live is pivotal, and so many businesses neglect this (hence why there is so much demand in the contract space for 'firefighters' to fix what had been built previously). Having a team in place AFTER the implementation that maintains that shared goal is what is going to make sure that the success of the new Salesforce instance is long-standing and genuinely impactful in the long-term for a business. Vinod Mistry's Vision Alignment Method (VAM) approach unifies a business's goals with the expertise and technical knowledge to go alongside it.
