Solicitor Training/Coaching
The main reason individuals do not give to charitable organizations is because they were never asked. And, the best asks are always made in face-to-face meetings.
We offer one-on-one coaching as well as group training sessions in the art of solicitation. Our goal is not only to help you and your volunteers develop the necessary skills to be effective solicitors, but also to increase your comfort level with the process.
Once you’re ready to begin, we work with you to set meetings with prospective donors over the phone, prepare solicitation materials and talking points, and develop effective strategies to make the most of these key meetings.
