Professional Development Webinar
Thursday November 4, 2021
12:00 noon - 1:00 p.m.
Gift Planning Discovery Calls
presented by
Eli Clarke
For front line fundraisers, the most impactful action we can take is to meet with our donors face-to-face. Yet unfortunately, securing meetings with donors often falls to the bottom of our to-do list. Join Eli Clarke from the University of Toronto, to learn how he met with over 180 donors in one year. Together, we will explore how to get out from behind your desk and meet with your donors face-to-face by focusing on:
- Prioritizing donor contact
- Quickly identifying prospects
- Contacting, following up, and securing meetings
- Preparing for meetings
- Leading and having meaningful conversations
