October through the end of the year is always crunch time to make sure that you have the systems in place, with the right communications and outreach so that you can close all the gifts your worked so hard on all year. During this time, there are many competing interests to juggle: Reaching our donors in between the upcoming holidays throughout November and December; Giving Tuesday; End-of-Year mail campaigns; Special Events; and the day-to-day tasks of running the organization. Laura has created the right structure for you to master your calendar and optimize the ideal times when you can reach your supporters. Communicating with supporters when THEY are in the right frame of mind to have those meaningful conversations will maximize your success to CLOSE all types of gifts – Annual, Major, Planned, Endowment and Campaign. This will be a hands-on workshop so that all attendees can actively participate and walk away with an action plan tailored to their organizational needs.
Last year's session was a HIT, so we had to bring author and inspiration, Laura Fredricks, to bring you a session all about How to Close Every Gift Before the End of the Year!
