The Fastest Way to Earn the Trust of a Giver

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!
