We already dealt with how to get a sponsor.Now we will look at how to unget a sponsor.

You have never heard that word right? Unget, it means to dismiss or get rid of something.
Example; the woman was humbugging me so I “unget” she!
Use it as often as you can, it is from the Boyce dictionary.

Here’s how to respond to potential sponsors when you are meeting with them and they put nothing on the table but yet want coverage:

Like when they say they don’t have any money but will give you giveaways, then they smile like you are to be happy about this.

I have never understood how you not giving money but give aways help me but maybe its because as NCF says I am sorta slow.

For your edification I have prepared a number of responses to positions often heard from potential sponsors That you need to unget..

* I have no money this year, but will come on board and give you money next year!

Response: see you next year!

*We gave all our sponsor monies to the NCF, have no more but still want in

Response: see you at NCF events.

* I have no money but will give you stuff to give away!

Response: give away a bye bye!

If a company does come with a tangible non monetary contribution that can save you cash by all means take it.

But if they don’t help pay the bills, what’s the point? Remember Dorsie and the lights and sound people only accept cash, they don’t accept flour and biscuits!

When a sponsor offers you that only, it is time to unget them!
