Fundraising Friday: The Ultra-Sophisticated Cutting-Edge Fundraising Strategy Taking The Sector By Storm

Ever wonder what the TOP fundraising experts are doing differently? What secret strategy they're implementing that you haven't discovered yet?

I'm about to share the most revolutionary fundraising tactic that development consultants don't want you to know about.?

This one is guaranteed to increase your revenue without hiring an expensive consultant.

You can implement it today without changing your tech, team, or tools.

Are you ready?

Here it is ...

Call your donors.

Just call them? Yep. That's it.

"But wait," you say, "there must be more to it than that!"

Nope. Call your donors.

"Surely I need a new CRM system first?"

No. Call your donors.

"Don't I need a comprehensive case for support?"

I LOVE a good case for support ... but maybe start by calling your donors.

"What about my new impact report?"

Great! Tell your donors about it ... when you call them.

"But I haven't perfected my asking technique!"

Why not practice by ... calling your donors?

"What if they ask difficult questions?"

They probably will. When you call your donors.

"Should I text instead? Everyone texts now."

You could. But also ... call your donors.

"What about my capital campaign?"

Exciting! Call your donors about it.

"I'm waiting for the perfect moment."

That would be now. Call your donors.

"I need to build a strategy first!"

Here's your strategy: Call. Your. Donors.

In a world of complicated fundraising tactics, sophisticated wealth screening tools, and elaborate engagement plans ... sometimes we forget the simplest truth:

Relationships happen through connection. Connection happens through conversation.

And conversation happens ... you guessed it ... when you call your donors.

This has been your #FundraisingFriday reminder to stop overthinking and pick up the phone.

Happy Friday Friends!

I could tell there was a catch inbound but that's pretty good! Thank you for the reminder. It literally came up in a committee meeting and is like double confirmation this week.

Even better, ask your board to call your donors! What if instead of a $ contribution goal for board members you had a # of donor calls goal/ expectation?
