Existentialism 2.0

“To exist or not to exist?”, that is the question.

If you’re not asking yourself this question regarding your nonprofit, you should be.

Why?

Because your investors and would-be investors (AKA “donors”) certainly are.

But, but, but. . .

“We provide critical (essential, vital, fundamental—you choose the word) services (benefits, help, do-gooding) to others,” you say.

That’s well and good, but. . .

Consider these questions:

1.???How much value is your organization (actually) creating?

Everything has a perceived value.?If you expect to attract financial investments (AKA “gifts”, “donations”) the actual value is that perceived by your investors.

The more specific and clear you are with your investors, the easier it is to create value for THEM.

Remember when it comes to attracting and keeping philanthropic support, it’s not the value perceived by the recipients of your good works, it’s the value perceived by those who are investing in what you do.

The Eight Principles train-the-trainer program produces this understanding among everyone in your organization.?Why everyone??Because everyone has investor contact of one kind or the other.?

2.???How difficult is the problem to solve without your organization?

This question is almost never asked.?As a result, there are a plethora of well-meaning nonprofits that essential do the same thing.?Often for the same people.?

As in the commercial world, there is a market for do-gooding.?And a limit.?How many clinics, social service, arts, educational organizations are needed in a particular market?

If your organization not only wants to survive but to thrive, it’s essential that you position your organization as uniquely as possible to those from whom you want to elicit support.?(Read that again slowly.)

The Eight Principles train-the-trainer clarifies the uniqueness question for you like nothing else.?It brings everyone—from board to staff, executives, and fundraisers alike to a consensus on uniqueness.?Learn more.

3.???Can you create a win-win?

Nonprofit folks often wince at the idea that they’re expected to perform in order to receive the gifts they receive.

Actually, this is your organization’s opportunity to shine.?By creating a win for those you serve AND those who support you, you create the ultimate in fundraising.

Synergy.

That’s where 1 + 1 truly equals 3. ??That’s when your fundraising hits the roof—and then upward.?

This is the unique power of The Eight Principles train-the-trainer system.?By using it on-demand with your own staff, it just gets better.?And better.?Learn more.?

Here’s a short video on how our train-the-trainer works:

The best part??It doesn’t take buckets of money to get there.?It’s desire and will.?

If you’re a nonprofit executive or fundraiser, schedule a call with me .?It’s complimentary.?Whether or not continuous training is for you, you’ll have a much clearer idea of where you need to go and how to achieve your goals.

Coaches and consultants this can be of immense benefit to you, as well.

As a coach myself, I feel the pain of coaches and consultants who spend inordinate amounts of effort and time just to get a client to the point where they “get it.”?It’s when that happens a consultant does their best work.

This is where the Eight Principles training platform is used to get your client “there” in record time.?You take everyone from board room to front desk to the same place.

Clients don’t care how you do it.?They just want results.?If you deliver the culture in record time, you get to your custom work faster.?You serve more clients.?They get faster results.

Here’s a brief video that explains the advantages for coaches:

Coaches and consultants, let me hear from you.?Schedule a call and we’ll see if Eight Principles Training is a tool you can use to build your business and serve your clients more effectively while being more productive and growing your business.

To everyone:

Remember, success is a matter of the will.?It’s NEVER a matter of money.

NEVER.

My goal is simple.?To show all who really want it the clear, proven path to abundance.

To Your Fundraising Success,
