How to Have Intentional Fundraising Conversations
Hosted by Brian Saber, President of Asking Matters
Live webinar sessions on September 16th at 1PM ET and September 17th at 3PM ET.
Whether you’re exploring a potential donor’s initial interest, meeting over coffee to get to know someone better, or sitting down to ask for a gift, being intentional will make for much more comfortable and productive meetings. It starts with what you hope to get out of the meeting and what you believe your donor hopes to get out of the meeting.
Given that, what are the conversation topics to have? What questions do you hope to ask to get to know your donor better? How do you move the meeting along, segueing from one moment to another? When do you ask “the” question if it’s a solicitation meeting, and how to you ask it?
Join Brian to learn all this and more. We promise you’ll walk away:
- With a better understanding of your role – what it is and isn’t
- Understanding how to move a meeting along intentionally
- Knowing some powerful questions to ask
- Feeling much more comfortable about this quirky thing we call fundraising!
