I wasn’t on anyone’s list.
I didn’t have 10,000 followers.
And I definitely wasn’t the “loudest in the room.”
But what I did have was a vision, a plan, and one sentence that made a potential sponsor lean in and say, “Tell me more.”
Let me back up.
I was prepping for a local event—a workshop designed to help overlooked women own their voice, secure funding, and build strategic partnerships. I had the concept. The workbook. The mission.
But I didn’t have the money.
Printing, signage, venue fees, refreshments—it adds up quickly when you’re a small business owner trying to do big things. I knew I needed a sponsor. I just didn’t know how to ask without sounding like I was begging.
I’d sent cold emails before. Long ones. Professional ones. Even templated ones I found online. All I got in return? Silence. Or “we’ll pass at this time.”
Then one night, I stopped trying to sound perfect and started speaking from power.
I wrote:
“I don’t just host events—I create rooms where overlooked women walk out with funding, clarity, and confidence.”
And that was it.
No attachments. No long explanation. Just that one sentence followed by a simple ask.
Less than 48 hours later, I had a $1,500 sponsorship and a phone call scheduled to discuss more.
Here’s What Shifted:
I stopped pitching like I was trying to convince someone.
Instead, I positioned myself as someone already doing powerful work—someone worth aligning with.
That sentence told them everything they needed to know:
I knew my audience.
I knew the result.
I wasn’t just running a business—I was building something that mattered.
Why Most Sponsorship Pitches Don’t Work
Most women—especially those of us who are more introverted or soft-spoken—don’t realize that clarity is confidence. We spend so much time overthinking, apologizing in our tone, or underselling what we bring to the table.
And let’s be real: many sponsorship and grant templates floating around online feel robotic and generic. They don’t speak to you—the woman building something bold behind the scenes.
That’s exactly why I created the Get Chosen Workbook.
It’s not just a collection of scripts. It’s a step-by-step guide to help you:
Pitch like the quiet powerhouse you are
Craft sentences that open doors
Position your work to attract funding, partnerships, and speaking opportunities
The Sentence is Just the Beginning
The truth is, you don’t need to be famous to get funded. You need to be strategic. You need language that resonates. And you need to believe that your work deserves to be backed.
The Get Chosen Workbook gives you the blueprint—from pitch templates and visibility planners to strategic confidence exercises.
Because once you know what to say, the rest gets easier.
Ready to Get Chosen?
You’re not behind.
You’re not too quiet.
You’re not asking for too much.
You just haven’t been speaking your value clearly enough.
Let’s change that.
