Yesterday Roger argued that fundraisers need to know their donors’ identities. And he was talking about individual donors … and not just the $1,000, $5,000 or $10,000 (or whatever your ‘major gift’ threshold is) variety. He admitted this would be hard work: “This is an approach that most fundraisers will dismiss out of hand as ‘too difficult’, ‘too expensive’, ‘too time consuming’.” But did somebody tell you fundraising would be easy?

In his post, Is There A ‘Donor Journey’? Tom raises a key question and some of our most thoughtful readers answered, in essence, course there is, BUT … in the case of many organizations that journey is mighty flawed. And the reason most donor journeys, donor experiences, ‘touches’ or whatever you want to call them are so flawed is because most fundraisers — no matter how great and good their intention to please the donor – have not the slightest idea why a donor chose to give t

Persuasion gets a bad rap, and it’s time to change that. Think about it – what sorts of imagery come to mind when you think of somebody who possesses a persuasive quality? Different people think of different things. For me, when somebody says persuasion I see a car salesperson doing anything they can to “get you in this car today.”. At its core, persuasion simply means getting somebody to understand where you’re coming from so well that they decide they want to believe it too.
