5 Ways to Warm Up Staff and Volunteers to Ask
I can be a lot like that door — and I think most of us are. We need warming up. Warming up to new concepts and new ideas. Warming up to things that may make us a bit uncomfortable.
It is the same with fundraising. Volunteers and staff usually need warming so that they can effectively make a gift request. They need baby steps. We all need to understand what we are doing and why we are doing it. One step at a time. One win at a time. Building confidence and growing to even greater things.
