Front Burner Sports and Entertainment
Sponsorship Sales, Training, & Consulting
Many local properties and organizations lack the resources or the expertise to properly uncover sponsorship prospects, connect with critical decision-makers, and create attractive, successful sponsorship programs. As a result, they miss out on significant revenue that could be contributing to their bottom line. These are the clients Front Burner Sports and Entertainment is proud to serve.
Based in Minnesota, Front Burner Sports and Entertainment has the contacts, the experience, and the know-how to efficiently create a sales program that produces results for your property or organization. We work closely with our partners to help them achieve their sponsorship sales goals.

Our Approach
Be Prepared
We invest considerable time and energy to learn the intricacies and nuances of every project and take the time to create a compelling sales story that concisely outlines the benefits the partner will receive from coming on board.
Be First!
Many great sales campaigns fail due to lack of outbound effort. Front Burner prides itself in taking an aggressive outbound approach that quickly and efficiently canvasses the markets to bring potential partners to the forefront.
Be Creative!
Recognizing that every deal is different, and that every partner has different goals and motivations, we work hard to create cutting edge solutions that are new and innovative in both their approach and implementation.
