# Sponsor Pipeline

> Run the sponsor sales motion for a technical event, from target list to signed yes - then write the outreach plan or
> the next message each top target is owed. Enter the sponsorship goal, the average package, the months to the event,
> two self-set rates and every prospect with its segment, motivation, fit, buying signal, warm path, stage and follow-ups.
> Built on the SkillSafe skill @samber/event-sponsor-outreach (samber/dev-event-organizer-skills, MIT).

## What is free
- The backward list math: net-new goal (renewals left to the renewal motion) / average package = sponsors needed; / close rate = prospects to pitch; / reply rate = the target list; 2-3 times that to source. Both rates are flagged self-set.
- The budget window: roughly T-8 months for net-new money; past it the window is closing; six weeks out is almost always too late.
- Every prospect scored Hot, Warm, Cold or Skip, with a source check, segment concentration and the title to target by motivation (DevRel, Recruiting or HR, Marketing or PR, the CEO).
- The first-touch channel per target: warm intro, referral ask, re-entry for lapsed sponsors, last edition's sponsors left to renewal; purchased lists deleted; the cold sequence promoted only when warm paths cannot reach enough targets.
- The follow-up cadence and its cap (3, or 4 under the angle-rotation sequence), opt-outs honored at once, links in a first email flagged, activities the program lacks flagged, a liaison per relationship.
- The top targets with the next message each is owed; six outreach checks, all self-set; a lead-sheet CSV, Markdown and JSON exports.

## The metered lanes
Two tasks on gpt-terra, metered per run, routed by `task`. Input string fields: `task` (plan or emails), `event`, `prospects` and `facts`.
- `plan` replies with `summary`, `math`, `timing`, `top`, `channels`, `cadence`, `prep`, `checks`, `signals` and `caveats`; the page holds the math, every top target with its channel and next message, the channel and cadence picks and the checks to its own.
- `emails` replies with `messages` (company, kind, to, subject, body) and `note`; the page holds each message to its target and kind, no link in a first touch, no pitch in a referral ask, no bump in a follow-up, a deadline in a proposal and no activity the program lacks.
