Remember it’s more of what you can offer the to the industry or company etc, and NOT what the industry can offer you!

Many models/competitors often forget this very important point. Don’t expect sponsors and photographers to come knocking at your door, you will only be discouraged.  You may have won a slue of shows, but what you do on stage does not reflect what happens off stage. It is still up to YOU to seek out potential sponsors, or photographers and approach them with your ideas and how these ideas will be beneficial to their business. Sorry ladies… a pretty face just won’t cut it!

Before approaching companies, sponsors etc , ensure you have done your research about the company and more so prepare a few points or a proposal letter that will indicate the benefits of having you on board with them. What are you skills? How will you add value to the company. And more so , how will you increase their exposure and sales?  Sending a a business letter with these points will definitely make you stand out from the rest , especially those who have done the average email inquiry with a few photo attachments. A business letter will at least draw attention to you as a more serious candidate for the position! Once they portray you as a true professional, then you are well on your way to a mutually benefiting venture.
