I’m honored to share a recent conversation I had with Kristin Steele and Samantha Swaim on The Fundraising Elevator podcast. With Kristin and Samantha, conversations go deep QUICKLY.

But after you’ve prioritized who is ready for personalized outreach from a gift officer, the next step is to get prepared to make that first outreach call.
