The Fastest Way to Earn the Trust of a Giver
What’s the fastest way to earn the trust of a giver?
? Keep your word.
? Do what you say you’re going to do.
? Honor your commitments.?
? Under promise.
? Over deliver.
That's it.
There is no other way.?
When you consistently do what you say you'll do -- whether that’s showing up on time, sending the update on how a gift made a difference, or letting a giver know when things go sideways -- you let people know their trust in you is well-placed.?
Fundraising is a long game built on the back of hundreds of small, seemingly insignificant, actions done consistently well over time.?
Every decision … every action … can either build trust or erode it.?
There is no middle ground.?
Do you want to build trust with givers?
Be reliable. Have Integrity. And follow-through.
That’s it.?
What promise can you keep today?
"Be reliable. Have Integrity. And follow-through." So simple but so true!
