What are the biggest mistakes racers make when seeking sponsorship from Polaris?

Common mistakes include: overselling and including too much fluff in proposals; trying to emulate what others do on social media rather than being authentic; posting unprofessional content on social media that doesn't align with brand values; being too persistent with follow-up communications to the point of disrespect; having a 'handout mentality' expecting ongoing help without reciprocating value; and being unprepared or unorganized in their approach. Sponsors will check your social media to verify what you claim in proposals, so inconsistencies or unprofessional posts are red flags.
