Getting Face to Face with Prospective Donors: Making the Ask
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM CT
Speaker(s): Jim Piatt, Senior Vice President, University Advancement and External Affairs, Elon University
Elective Session
It is more than a meeting: it is ensuring success in every stage of a significant solicitation. We often think of a solicitation as a singular event, the moment when we "ask for the order." In this session, we will look at personal solicitation in a broader context, by discussing the five stages of the solicitation process, beginning with the call to request an appointment and concluding with post-solicitation follow-up. Our goal will be to understand how a thoughtful and rigorous approach to each stage can help ensure the best possible outcome in your solicitation of a high-potential prospect.
