Education Workshop: Managing The Ask

 

What To Say When Making The Ask

Whether you’re a seasoned fundraiser or new to the profession, we’ve all found ourselves in situations where we’re just not quite sure what to say during a donor solicitation.

  • Did I make the ask too soon?
  • Did I ask for too much?
  • Too little?
  • How should I have phrased the ask?
  • How should I have responded to their follow-up questions?

Diane Carlson, Chairman of Catapult Fundraising, answers all these questions during her presentation and walks the audience through different scenarios that ALL development professionals encounter at some point in their careers.

Join our expert on “What to Say” to learn masterful techniques to avoid uncomfortable moments during your next donor visit.

One of the best webinars I’ve ever attended! The information was not “textbook” and reflected real situations that come up OFTEN in major gift fundraising. I will be listening to this presentation several times…probably before every major gift meeting.
