When launching a sponsorship program, most corporations receive a large number of requests. That is already a challenge to manage. But it can be even harder if they have offices in different locations. Does this story ring a bell?
The importance lies in equipping you with the right tools and resources to reduce the everyday administrative burden. We know that a lot of corporations rely on manual processes. However, manual work leads to errors. If you combine it with the lack of a streamlined cross-departmental process, the result is most certainly an overwhelmed sponsorship manager who doesn't have the time to do all of their tasks.
Let us know if these are familiar to you:
And here we come, advising you to go for the all-in-one platform to make your life easier. Of course, we won't stop there. We have four key reasons for you to jump in and start working with an online tool to manage your sponsorship projects.
We don't want to brag, but our forms will save your life. You can receive all sponsorship requests in one central spot and ask all relevant questions for the decision process via online forms. Yes, you can make these questions mandatory, so you can be sure to have all information needed.
Moreover, Optimy's software allows back-end users to see if someone has started filling out an application, even if they haven't submitted it yet. That way, you can quickly identify the blocking questions and even reach out to applicants to answer questions.
And since we talked about being located in different regions, it might be essential to mention that you can add additional questions depending on the applicant's location. This way, the questions applicants have will differ depending on their answers to previous questions.
We have features like Automatic Scoring, Automatic Delegation, and Automatic filtering features to help you save time on your selection process.
For instance, if you spend hours of your time reviewing an application to find out, in the end, that this grant seeker doesn't meet the profile, the wasted time is rather irritating. Plus, you'll have to email the grant seeker that they didn't meet the criteria. However, thanks to automation, you can have a standard decline template inside your Optimy's platform and automatically send emails when a sponsorship request doesn't match the corporation's needs.
Again, thanks to automation and mainly the Automatic Delegation feature, you can quickly and automatically delegate to the team member responsible for managing a specific region.
Once you've set up your workflow inside the tool, Optimy's dashboard tells you what you should do via the Tasks feature. After completing each task, the system triggers the next one, ensuring that errands such as payments, staffing event booths, and receiving logos all get done in the sponsorship process.
If you also dreamt of setting specific amounts for specific regions, being able to track everything in real-time, keeping track of how much of the budget you still have to allocate, or even establishing sub-categories for a specific area, your dream has come true. Optimy's innovative budgeting feature will change your life for the better.
Now we know that it might be scary to jump in. But the great thing about Optimy is (among other things) the personalized support that you get from our excellent Customer Success team. Get in touch to know more and start streamlining your sponsorships processes!
