Sponsor Trove vs. Google Sheets & Excel
Your sponsor spreadsheet got you this far.
Most sponsorship programs start in a spreadsheet, and that makes sense: it's free, everyone knows it, and it takes a minute to set up. But a spreadsheet only knows what you type into it. Sponsor Trove knows when a prospect opens your deck, what they asked, and who you should follow up with today.
Where the spreadsheet starts to slip
You can't see who's reading your deck
You attach the prospectus to an email and hope. Whether they opened it, shared it with their boss or never looked is a mystery until they reply.
Follow-ups live in someone's head
"Circle back after their Q2 budget review" ends up in a notes column nobody re-reads, and warm leads go cold.
It's always a little out of date
Several people, one sheet, and no record of who changed what or when. The status column is only as fresh as the last person who remembered to update it.
What you get with Sponsor Trove
Deck links that fill your pipeline for you
Upload your prospectus once and share a link instead of an attachment. Prospects enter their name and email to view it, and Sponsor Trove adds them to your pipeline as a deal, matched to their company. No more copying names into rows.
- See who opened it and when they came back
- One link for everyone, or one per prospect
- Your logo and colors on every link
A pipeline built for sponsorships, not a grid of cells
Drag deals between the stages you sell through, track each sponsor's package and amount, and see how close you are to your revenue goal for each event, without a single formula.
- Stages, packages and fields you define
- Goal progress for each event
- Stage changes and notes kept on each deal
Follow-ups that actually come back around
When a sponsor says "check back in three months," set a follow-up on the deal. It turns amber on the day it's due and red if it slips, so the board itself tells you who needs a call.
- Quick dates: tomorrow, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months
- As many follow-ups per deal as you need
- A Follow-ups due view of everything owed today
Prospects can ask your deck questions
Prospects can ask questions while they read and get instant answers drawn from your document. Every question lands on the deal, so you know exactly what to cover on the next call, and what your prospectus is missing.
- Answers come only from your deck
- Questions it can't answer are flagged for you
- A strong signal of who's serious
Sponsor emails that file themselves
Connect Gmail and every email with a sponsor lands on their deal automatically, so the whole team sees the conversation without anyone pasting notes into a cell. New people at a sponsor's company are added as contacts.
- Read-only, and only emails with your pipeline
- Matched by contact and company email domain
- Flags sponsors waiting on your reply
An assistant that has read every row
Each deal gets a short AI summary with what to ask next. Ask the assistant "What should I focus on today?" and it starts with follow-ups that are due, then the deals that need attention.
- Summaries refresh as deals change
- Answers link straight to the deal
- Drafts follow-up emails for you
