The Influential Nonprofit: How To Hear "Yes" Faster And With Less Follow Up

Do you feel like the only answer you hear is "No," or "Let me think about it and get back to you," and then you hear nothing?

It is so frustrating, time consuming and downright disheartening.

You've got an AMAZING nonprofit worthy of investment, and it feels like an uphill climb to find anyone willing to invest.?

You would love to hear yes faster, more frequently and with LESS FOLLOW UP!

So how do you do that?

The first step might surprise you.?

Hang with me, here.?

The first step is to say YES to yourself.?

Say yes to receiving what you deserve, for yourself or your organization. Say yes to achieving at a higher level, or raising your standards for what you will or will not accept in your life and work.?

You may not realize that sometimes we often put up barriers to getting what we want because there's a little voice inside of us reminding us how unworthy we are. Or how undeserving we are.?

That voice can then send subtle messages to donors, board members or anyone we want something from. It could come across in our tone, our body language or our words. They may be conscious of it or not.?

Remember, 80 percent of communication is nonverbal, so the right mindset and energy is as or more important than what is said.?

It is really about you.?

The first YES you can say is to yourself so you can hear more yeses in all aspects of your work and life!

PS...this week's podcast has a sample of this master class too!?

“The art of fundraising is about cultivation and relationships and creating an emotional connection with people and within that emotional connection, building trust and building mutual respect. WE don’t do that by pushing and convincing."

This is just a small bit of the wisdom I will share, and the four steps you can start implementing RIGHT AWAY to raise more money more easily. These are actionable strategies that will get immediate results.
