What happens when you stop treating sponsorships like transactions and start treating them like strategic partnerships?

Justin and Joe pull back the curtain on two recent deals—a $10K sponsorship and a $7K campaign—breaking down exactly how they positioned themselves, what they pitched, and where they probably left money on the table.

Here's what we cover:

• Why custom website videos command premium rates (even without posting to your own channels)

• The exact follow-up strategy that kept a year-long deal from going cold

• How to recover from a sponsorship that didn't work and turn it into a bigger deal

• The mindset shift that lets you charge $10K with under 1,000 views per video

• When to be flexible with contracts (and when to stand firm on your process)
