How To Turn Your Board Into a Lead-Generating Machine

Bloomerang


 
Do you ask your board over and over again to help with fundraising and get nothing? You are not alone. Most people who join boards are often overwhelmed with having to support fundraising. They feel pressure to get it right, aren’t confident in what to say, or don’t want to face rejection.
 
Maryanne trains boards to connect with prospective donors in a way that relieves the pressure, making supporting your fundraising a joyful experience for them. By learning how to have simple “connection conversations,” boards can generate leads for you to follow up on. Imagine having dozens or hundreds of new prospects coming your way.
 
Learning Objectives:
 
• Understand why fundraising is hard for board members

• Shift their thinking from asking to making meaningful connections

• What connection conversations are and how to get them

• How to have conversations that relieve the pressure and make it easy to connect

• How to navigate objections and rejections
