Hi all,
Can someone tell me why it takes so long to secure sponsors in this game?
The negotiation process takes so bloody long. With 3 races left I'm only at 50% and high priority negotiating with only 1 sponor.
Am I doing something wrong? Please help.

There are many, many nuances to the sponsorship game. But, the short answer is no, you are probably not doing anything majorly wrong. It just takes a long time.
Sponsor attributes, driver attributes, and race results factor in. But, even at maximum speed, the process can be agonizingly slow.

It takes time to secure a sponsor... things may affect the process..study the process and try to learn what you may be able to do to speed up the process

I think you forgot to tell that you have already got 1 sponsor. 150% for 14 races is not too bad.

Thanks all!!!
Yes Jukka I do, but the funds are less than the default sponsor we get at the beginning of the season, and it took forever to negotiate this one too!

The default sponsor money is on the high end of the spectrum that you can expect to see for quite a while.
In my experience.

Hopefully you promote then, otherwise all the hard work would be for nothing. Points wise you are fine, money wise, its gonna be really tight but may just manage :)

Fangio
with 13 millions in negative you are doing something wrong for sure
if you stay in rookie because of negative balance you will lose that sponsor too

You can negotiate with more then 1 sponsor, using more then normal priority when negotiatiing with only 1 sponsor is useless.
The fact that you are in negative is not so good, to be honest.
The sponsor progress depends on different things, driver, results, sponsor characteristics to name a few.

Is it me, or does there seem to just be a complete lack of sponsors? I am currently negotiating with one, but there are currently no 0% sponsors available in my group, and I'm in amateur. Just seems impossible to get one at the moment.

If everyone in your group was only negotiating with one sponsor, then that wouldn't happen. If everyone is negotiating with ten each then there are less likely to be ones with no competition - but their progress won't be as fast. How you choose to negotiate and compete for sponsors is up to you but Quote ( Richard Carter @ March 30th 2016,13:04:09 ) Just seems impossible to get one at the moment.
doesn't follow from what you've said :)

After being in Elite and Master, the sponsor market in Ama is absolutely incredible! I might just stay here and enjoy the freedom - it´s too crowded up there :)

I should have 2 sponsors for next race. If it wasn't hard to get them it wouldn't be fun! Invest in commercial facilities?

My commercial facilities are the highest level they can be. I am currently negotiating with one and am around 60% of the way there. But I seem to remember last time I was in amateur I was able to negotiate with multiple at the same time, just every time I now go to the available sponsors there are none at 0%. The only reason I have the one I am at 60% with is because one person was at 4% and I overtook them as I am only negotiating with one. If I tried to do many at the same time, I think I probably would never have one.

Richard, now that almost everyone retains in amateur there will rarely be a free sponsor there. Every season you'd get lots of progress lost due to them relegating to rookie.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So basically, the only time to start negotiations is the beginning of the season? Makes sense.
|
|
|
|
|
Well, the contracts run out during season too, but obviously there is not too many doing so at the same time.
|
|
|
|
|
A sponsor doesn't need to be on 0% for you to start negotiating with them (although the benefits of doing that are obvious).
|
|
|
|
|
I'm well aware how the negotiations work. It was more of a gripe that there don't seem to be many viable sponsors out there.

Not at all. It used to be the case that you could start halfway through the season on a large number of negotiations with a strong possibility that quite a few of them would drop a competitor at the reset, leaving you with 20-40% on each of them, so a decent headstart against those only looking at start of season.

This is primarily down to only 10 relegating instead of 15.
Sponsors should be carried en masse from Rookie; only 3/4 will promote so all competitors are effectively reset. You get a good headstart, and probably prevent competition in its entirety.
