The GOOD… the BAD… the UGLY
The GOOD: 34% of donors who received a personal thank you call said they would give again because of the call. !The BAD: 94% of donors say that charities they support never or hardly ever call them up without asking for another gift. !The UGLY: 98% say that charities never or hardly ever pay them a visit without asking for MONEY. !65% of donors who make a first gift never make a second gift, and they leave largely due to over-‐soliciting and our insisting on unrestricted giving.

Managing Your Time
Getting OUT of the OfficeRequires Planning and Commitment
!• Pick One Day a Week for Donor Visits
– Aim for at least 2 appointments for each day
!• Don’t be a slave to urgency
– Turn off your email notification!
!• Block out time on your calendar every week to:
– Prioritize which donors to visit – Make appointments – Make visits and follow up

Making Appointments Getting An Appointment -‐ Tips
• Give specific choices for times and place • Think through your goal of the visit relative to location (office, home, restaurant)
• Email and call if you have both • The Perseverance Rule • Call 3 times and email 3 times before giving up (with busy
working people, 4 outreaches over a month).
• Set Expectations • If asked, tell your donor your intentions for the visit.

Having Conversations Arc of Asking
(c) YellowBrickRoadConsulting.com
Rainmakers – a strong asker who rushes to close. Give the donor time to convince herself.
Go-‐Getters –resist closing and enjoy the moment so much. Don’t leave the close for the end.
Kindred Spirits –likely to put off the ask to avoid confrontation. Find the courage to get the ask on the table and the courage to ask again after answering questions.
Mission Controllers -‐ an urge to control how things unfold. Let the ask unfold naturally, give it some breathing room. The donor might not be ready to close.
