"After completing the one day workshop 'How to Attract More Sponsors' I applied Richard's principles to my business development practice and strategy. Within six months and despite the GFC we secured hundreds of thousands of dollars and signed up two 'meaningful' corporate partners for the next three years. I highly recommend this course!"
