Default Racer's Resume'... how to?

As many of you may have seen on my Facebook page or e-mail solicitations I have sent out, it is that time of year I am renewing the sponsorships on my car.

What surprises me when I do this is that I get responses from people I don't even know who are interested. Sometimes I even close the deals.

I am on the west coast and a company on the east coast got my e-mail solicitation. I am not sure how. I don't know the company and I don't know the company president who responded.

The bottom-line is that he is requesting a "Driver resume'." I have never even thought to put one together, nor have I been asked, yet, despite my prior solicitations.

Does anyone have a good example or good tips?


Thanks,
Oli

Scroll down and there an example in MS word

You probably already have seen something similiar but just in case.

Look at it from a marketing perspective

Driver marketing promotion events

Only Wins and Divisions or National championship Wins

Volunteer charity fund raisers where you car was involved

"Give a Vet A ride type event." or Car shows

Number of Marketing impressions. ( How many PPL see your car)

autograph sessions per event and how many autographs given.

Your cars media photograph history.


Sports and Driver marketing is very different then a resume

Yes it is good that you win, but they want to know who is going to see their name on your car and how often.
