Listen "Fifteen Questions to Help You Go Deeper with Your Donor"
Episode Synopsis
Do you want to be a great Major Gift Fundraiser?One trait of all great MGOs is that they are curious people. That curiosity leads to developing authentic relationships.
How often do you go to a dinner party or gathering, and you come back and realize no one has asked anything about you? This happens to us all the time. It doesn’t feel good. If you think about it, what a missed opportunity we all have by not being curious about one another.
Unfortunately, this also happens with major gift officers. How well do you know your donors? Do you know their passions and interests? Do you know why they have them?
In this episode, Richard and Jeff give you a little help by giving you 15 questions that will help you go deeper with your donors, toward developing real relationships with them.
