What's the biggest red flag that will get a sponsorship request rejected immediately?
Answered in: How to get sponsored by AEMThe Answer
Saying 'if you don't sponsor me, I'll go to your competitor' is an instant rejection. This signals you're just fishing for free parts rather than genuinely wanting to partner with the brand. Sponsors want athletes who truly believe in their products and can authentically share their enthusiasm - not opportunists looking for handouts. Being known as someone who shops proposals around will get your name circulated negatively in the industry.
