Getting A Donation From Today’s Marketplace

Today donors are less accessible. In the past, fundraisers could build relationships with the gatekeeper to their target people, knowing that these relationships would eventually get them in to see the decision-maker. Electronic devices have since replaced most gatekeepers and you can’t build a relationship with a voice mail system. Other technological innovations such as e-mail, fax, cellular phones, digital pagers, and the Internet have also given donors the freedom to execute their functions away from their desks or homes. While this is good in one sense, it also means that potential donors are less likely to pick up the telephone when you call.

Many prospects are reluctant to pick up the telephone anyway. With the rapid economic expansion in recent years, more fundraisers are offering more solutions than ever before. Consequently, decision-makers are being inundated with a barrage of callers, who are all competing for the same thing, a donation from the prospect’s budget, but even more importantly, a slice of their time and attention.

Most prospects already know the fundraising tricks, things like calling after hours to avoid the gatekeeper, or leaving voice-mail messages that say so-and-so told me to call. They also know about the Ben Franklin Close, Alternate Choice, and Feel-Felt-Found. That’s why so many fundraisers have become frustrated with traditional fundraising methods.

Teaching fundraisers to be just like everyone else puts them at a disadvantage. When a fundraiser is perceived “the same” as everyone else, then they are only average, by definition, and their chances of getting a donation are significantly diminished. Donors usually don’t "give" to an “average” fundraiser.

Rather than donations consider selling Sunset Coupon Books at local events and store locations.  Give your prospects a better “deal.”
