SponsorshipX Whistler 2024: Approval Request

A Letter to your Boss: Approval Request - Attending SponsorshipX Whistler 2024

Subject: Approval Request: Attending SponsorshipX Whistler 2024 for Strategic Insights and Networking

Dear [Manager's Name],

I seek your approval to attend the upcoming SponsorshipX Whistler, July 25-27, conference concurrent with the Crankworx festival in Whistler.

This unique event offers a substantial return on investment by providing learning opportunities from global leaders across top organizations such as SkipTheDishes, RBC, Ipsos Canada, tentree, Desjardins, CIBC and more, gathered uniquely in one location. SponsorshipX conference offers a rare chance to engage directly with industry leaders and absorb cutting-edge insights on the future of brand champions. This knowledge will directly enhance our strategies and operational efficiency.

Additionally, the experienced nature of the delegates—amid the backdrop of the stunning mountains—provides a phenomenal opportunity to learn from diverse individuals, fostering relationships that could prove invaluable for our company.

I want to highlight the affordability of this opportunity: 1. The complete forum pass is $1199 (until May 28), covering all plenary sessions, unique workshops in the Peak 2 Peak Gondola, and all meals – from Thursday evening through Sunday evening, including the Mountaintop Summer Feast 2. Thanks to their hotel deal, we can book a room at the Hilton Resort and Spa for an exclusive and discounted price. 3. Roundtrip flights from Toronto are well below $1000, making the trip more accessible than anticipated.

Attending SponsorshipX Whistler will equip me with advanced insights and practical tools while immersed in Crankworx, a Gen-Z-fuelled festival. The exposure to groundbreaking tactics and the ability to forge substantial contacts with other brands, agencies and properties will yield long-term benefits to our team's expertise and our company's reach in the industry. Given the reasonable costs, the unparalleled learning environment, and the potential to develop significant industry connections, I firmly believe that attending SponsorshipX Whistler will be a strategic investment for our company.

Please let me know if you need further details or a detailed breakdown of the projected ROI. I am keen to discuss how this opportunity aligns perfectly with our goals and would appreciate your consideration of this request.

Thank you for considering this opportunity.

Best regards,

[Your Name]

The Career Golden Rule

You don't get what you don't ask for. 

That axiom holds in sales, relationships, and restaurants. It also holds for your career. I was reminded of this last week when I was having a coffee intro with the wife of a long-time colleague.  

She had recently left the c-suite of a company she had helped sell and is looking for her next gig.

She has a three-legged stool of parameters for her next role. The parameters include the nature of the business being consumer-facing, the growth mindset of the people she works with, and the fact that marketing should be a business function, not a communications department. In short, she is taking control of her career. 

She is making the ask.   

When did you last ask for something from your company, manager, client, or yourself? A pitch to get on a new project. A request to learn new skills. An inquiry about the rotational role. A benefits rationale to take a course. A submission to join an industry body. A request of yourself to change a bad habit.  

It is not the role of others to set the course for your career. To pick what mountains you are going to climb. To give you the equipment to do so. 

It is not the role of others to set the course for your career. To pick what mountains you are going to climb. To give you the equipment to do so. 

It is yours. Assuming you want something new in your career. Establish your criteria. Figure out the pitch. Assemble your data.  

Make the ask.
