Hello all, i was wondering if any of you industry folks could help me out a little with advice on what/how to submit a request to a company for a product sponsorship (a bunch of people at my level seem to have product sponsorships). I have a resume, and a cover letter that contain my triathlon history and what i do in my community to promote triathlon, so i was wondering what i should emphasize in both my cover letter and resume:
-local race results
-international race results
-national teams stuff/collegiate resident team stuff
-education (mention major or current gpa?)
-how i would promote the products?
-anything else?
I was also wondering if these letters should be sent snail-mail or using email? Lastly, i’m new to the sport (this is my second summer doing triathlon) and i was wondering if playing off of that would help or weaken my cover letter or resume? Thanks all!
