The Architecture of a F2F Project Every F2F fundraising project aims to achieve the highest number of quality sign-ups in the shortest time. To succeed, you need two key elements: performance and culture. 1. Performance: The Engine of Your Project ?? Performance starts with well-trained fundraisers and leaders. Training is all about skills and competences. Some examples can be: rapport-building, storytelling, and handling objections or for leaders, coaching, training, conflict resolution, etc But training alone isn’t enough, mindset is also important. Success means understanding that every challenge is a chance to learn. That’s why we use the ODP framework: setting objectives for outcomes, development, and processes. Fundraisers don’t just track sign-ups; they focus on mastering the skills that generate results. 2. Culture: The Soul of Your Organization ?? Culture defines how people behave even when no one is watching. A toxic culture leads to high turnover, while a strong one keeps teams engaged. To build a great culture: ?? Live your values – Leaders must show themselves the behaviors they expect. ?? Strengthen relationships – People stay where they feel valued. Create spaces for real connection. ?? Communicate effectively – Use structured tools like Nonviolent Communication (NVC) ??? and Leadership Effectiveness Training (LET) ??. Our “Virtue Minute” in team meetings fosters open discussions and emotional alignment. ?? The Ultimate Goal A great F2F project balances high-quality sign-ups with a motivated, engaged team. Leaders set the tone by shaping the standards and systems that define the team’s experience. Success takes time and effort, and it’s worth it. Build your culture. Strengthen performance. Be ready when opportunity knocks: "It’s better to be prepared for an opportunity and not have one than to have an opportunity and not be prepared." ? Until next time, stay inspired and Trust The Process! PS: if you need any support, feedback or connection, feel free to reach out at [email protected] or visit didof2f.com

6 Human Needs That Reduce Turnover in Face-to-Face Fundraising If you’re leading a fundraising team, you already know, your program’s success depends on your fundraisers. And yet, people come and go faster than raindrops on a car window. ?? Why do they leave? Sometimes it’s life, moving, career shifts, new priorities. Other times, it’s something you can influence: pay, team dynamics, growth opportunities. And if you want to keep your team, you need to meet their needs. A simple way to think about this? Tony Robbins’ six human needs – check the longer video here: https://bit.ly/4bF9ava ? Security – If fundraisers can’t rely on fair pay, they’ll be looking for the next job before you even realize it. ?? Variety – Same routine every day? People disengage. Switch up locations, add challenges, make the job fun and dynamic. ?? Significance – People want to feel valued. Give them training, career growth, leadership opportunities. ?? Connection – Team bonds matter. A strong culture, open communication, and trust keep people together. ?? Growth – When people develop, they stay. Help them build skills and advance, and they’ll be invested in the work. Also, this means they become stronger assets for your organization. ?? Contribution – Fundraising already makes an impact, but mentorship can deepen this even further. Meet these needs, and your turnover drops. Simple as that. For me, growth is the most inspiring of all these days. Seeing people push their limits, step up, and own their progress, that’s what keeps me going. What about you? How do you keep your team engaged and turnover low? Drop a comment or send me an email at [email protected]. ? Until next time, stay inspired and Trust The Process!

What's the vision for your F2F program? ?? The difference between success and failure often comes down to having a long-term vision and a clear plan to get there. When you know your destination, navigating obstacles becomes easier, and stress takes a back seat to clarity. Most people set goals year by year, aligning the next with the one that just passed. It makes sense, but it’s limiting. If you only plan one step at a time, you might miss bigger opportunities, waste energy, and slow down growth. A Better Approach? ?? Long-term (3-5 years): Where do you really want to be? What markets do you want to enter? What strategic investments will get you there? Medium-term (1-2 years): Knowing the big picture helps you shape internal expansion, events, key hires or maybe even locations (if your teams face cold weather) ??? Short-term (monthly, weekly, daily): What actions move you forward today? How do you adjust processes, meetings, and team priorities to stay on course? ?? When these layers connect, decisions become easier. If you know where you want to be in five years, today’s priorities are clear. Clarity saves time, drives better choices, and keeps you from drifting off track. ?? It’s often said, where there’s no vision, people perish. The longer your horizon, the better you can navigate milestones, adjust strategies, and make data-driven decisions. So, start with the end in mind. ?? Review your progress with perspective. Invest daily and monthly efforts wisely. Celebrate wins, fix what’s broken, and balance culture with performance. Whether you're leading a new program or a seasoned one, if you need support, we’re here. Check out our website – didof2f.com Until next time, stay inspired and Trust The Process! ?

Does leadership feel like putting out fires all day? Take the free scorecard to see what’s missing from your program - https://bit.ly/4aQrFN2 Great leadership isn’t about fixing problems, it’s about building something that works.

How to Prevent Conflicts in Your F2F Team ? Where there are people, there will be conflicts. It’s just how things work. But a strong F2F team doesn’t just fix conflicts, it prevents them. After eight years of building teams, I’ve learned one simple truth: people need a way to express frustrations without breaking relationships. They need to feel heard, not blamed. That’s where the Confrontation Message comes in. It’s a way to address issues before they turn into real problems. Here’s how it works: ?? Describe the behavior, not the person Say what happened, not what kind of person they are. Calling someone “lazy” or “unfair” won’t solve anything—it just makes things worse. Instead, focus on actions. ?? Say how it made you feel Be real. Were you frustrated? Disappointed? Overwhelmed? When you share honestly, the other person is more likely to listen instead of getting defensive. ?? Explain why it matters Every action has an impact. Maybe missing a meeting threw off your plans. Maybe a last-minute change made fieldwork harder. People respond better when they understand the bigger picture. ? For example: "Hey Florin, I saw you missed the team leader meeting and didn’t let me know. That really threw me off because I had planned the session assuming everyone would be there. It made it harder to keep things on track." This approach isn’t just theory, it’s a game-changer. ?? It’s inspired by Nonviolent Communication (NVC) and Leadership Effectiveness Training (LET), both proven methods for building strong teams. If you want to dive deeper, we’ve got a Leadership Program Waitlist that covers this and more - https://bit.ly/4huJqDZ Until then, stay inspired and Trust The Process.

Culture & Performance in F2F Fundraising The main goal of any face-to-face fundraising project is to sign up as many quality donors as as efficiently as possible. But if you're a leader or manager in the sector, you’ve probably realised by now that culture is just as important as performance. A strong culture reduces turnover, lowers recruitment costs, and ultimately drives better results. Here are a few signs of a great team culture: ?? ?People enjoy coming to work. You see more smiles than frowns. ?? ?? ?There’s a sense of security. Everyone feels encouraged to be authentic, and relationships are generally positive. ?? ?? ?Growth is constant. Personal development brings a sense of purpose, boosting engagement and motivation. ?? So what can you do to build a great culture if you're not already there? It starts with strong communication. Whether it’s NVC, LET, or another approach, setting high standards and having leaders who model them almost guarantees success. A Chinese proverb says, “If man was meant to speak more than listen, he would have two mouths and one ear.” In other words, listening is key. ?? This is where active listening comes in, the ability to hear beyond the words, reflect emotions back without interrupting, and create a space where people feel safe to express themselves. ?? Drop a comment below and share how important listening is in your organisation. ?? In our DLDP program, we have a dedicated focus on this, called we call it Interpersonal Intelligence, where active listening is at the core. If you want to see how you score in this area, here’s a free scorecard to bring you more clarity - https://bit.ly/4aQrFN2 Until next time, stay inspired and trust the process. ? P.S.

What’s Your Strategy for the Day? Going out to fundraise without a strategy is a strategy, just not a great one. It usually means settling for poor and inconsistent results! If you’re leading a team and fundraising alongside them, having a solid plan can turn an okay day into a winning one ??. Here are a few key elements to keep in mind: ?? Warm-up matters. Everyone gets into the zone differently. Some do it on the field, others in a morning meeting. Know what works for you and do it with purpose! ?? Pick a focus for the day. Skill drives results. So make sure you and your fundraisers focus daily on sharpening skills, stopping, pitching, objection handling are just a few ideas. ? The Hour of Power. In the last hour, give it everything. 110%, no matter what’s going on around you. Leave expectations at home, commit to the process, and you’ve got a solid recipe for success ??. What works for you?
