I wasn't entirely shure where to put this. I also realize that there have been several similar threads, but right now i really need some help here.

How did your team come by its corporate sponsors? How did you find them? How did you approach them? Has anything you have done been sucessful/really unsecessful? I have spent the entire day today, cold calling corporations. Most of the time i didn't reach people, and the ones i did reach didn't sound to promising about monetary sponsorship. I have basically been calling anybody w/money. Should i be only calling engineering, or manufacturing companies? Is calling people and mailing them a brochure the wrong approach. I havn't called any of these people back yet. I mailed many of the more promising ones brochurs, and will call them in 2 days. Any suggestions?
