See enough people, see the right people, and see them at the right time. As a fundraiser, that course of action may sound logical; however, the pivotal part of this advice is the “right people.”
How can you be sure you are calling on qualified prospects? The answer lies in your diligence in collecting information about leads before you spend time calling on or meeting with them.
This webinar will take prospecting for nonprofits to a whole new level. And, it will help you get the most out of your prospecting efforts.

- Discover the critical information you need to qualify prospects before you contact them.
- Curate effective strategies for making calls that lead to in-person meetings.
