Description

Session Description:

As gift officers, it is our role to be the chief architect and strategist for each donor visit. There are occasions where it is beneficial to bring along the organization's president, a volunteer leader, another major donor, a faculty member or colleague. A co-visitor can be influential and helpful in cultivating donors, but without a careful plan of who will say what and when, the visit can easily go awry. Attend this session to learn more about taking others on donor calls with you. We'll discuss pre-planning essentials and strategy, visit scripting tips, and the importance of post-visit planning.
