Take the Pain Out of Your Ask
Presenter: Jon Simons, Executive Vice President, DBD Group
Asking for a gift of any size can be really overwhelming for a volunteer or staff. Even seasoned development staff can be unnerved by asking for a major gift. How do you prepare yourself and your team for an ask that feels natural – even joyful – for both you and your donor? In this webinar, you’ll learn three strategies that work together to help you prepare, ask and steward a gift… without the pain.
Attendees will learn how to:
- Identify your own "pain points" in asking for a gift
- Discover strategies to learn about your donors' passions and connection to your mission
- Learn to "tell your better story" by connecting the case for support to donor priorities
- Activate enhanced stewardship techniques that develop deeper donor relationships
