Seekins Precision Team Member Mo Shaw drops a ton of knowledge on us this week as he schools us on the ins and outs of 3-Gun Sponsorship. Mo was a Pro-Rodeo Steer Wrestler in the 90’s so he has a lot of experience working with big crossover brands such as Wrangler, Chevrolet, etc. If you are a beginner 3Gunner you learn a lot about how to conduct yourself on the range in this episode. If you’re a mid-level shooter that is considering sponsorship you will learn the how-to’s and how-not-to’s of sponsorship. If you are experienced in 3-Gun sponsorship you will take away something to add to your expertise.
In this Episode You’ll Learn:
- Why the Pro’s Pro helps build and promote a brand rather than exchanging product for promotion.
- How to give a huge return on investment to your sponsors by asking what you can do for them rather than what they can do for you
- Why college athletes miss that regular competition and are drawn to 3-Gun
- Why you need to give a brand a bigger return on their investment than what they’re giving you
- How to deal with the pressure and perceived expectations that you put on yourself when you have a sponsor’s name on your jersey
- Why your sponsors may not understand the sport of 3-Gun and the easiest way to educate them
- Quantifying your value and what you can offer
- The 5 things you’re doing wrong as a sponsored shooter and didn’t even know it
- Plus: The most important things that you can do right
- And more!
