Our webinar series will provide you and your team the support, theory, and practical tools you need to excel, especially in uncertain times.
About this Event

True success as a fundraiser requires persistence, even in the face of uncertainty. A common challenge we face in the field is prospects who suddenly become unresponsive, which can all-too-often lead to relationships losing momentum and falling to the wayside. However, every prospect strategy lost to unresponsiveness is a missed opportunity. In this webinar, we will lead attendees through an understanding of the theories and tools to keep these relationships warm, providing the knowledge they need to never let one of those opportunities drop again, and provide a post-webinar exercise to help them build these tools for various scenarios.

December is the perfect time to reach out to our “ghosting” prospects, and we will discuss ways to reach out in authentic and compelling ways while minimizing the stories in our heads on why our donors/prospects have “ghosted” us.
