Plenary
Let’s demystify the idea of “making the ask” by talking about the basics. A solicitation doesn’t need to be anxiety-provoking! Let’s discuss the criteria that need to be in place before we are ready to talk about money. And, as importantly, let’s make sure that our prospects are ready to be asked! See professionals in action and get your chance to solicit your peers.
Attend one of the two "Making the Ask Practice Sessions" on Wednesday at 4:15PM or Thursday at 11:00 AM to practice what you learn here.
