1. Take a moment to think about a recent ask; a moment when you were tasked with asking a donor to give to your organisation. Describe your feelings leading up to this interaction.
I felt anxious and very afraid of rejection and disparagment
2. How did the donor respond to your request? What was the outcome of this ask? Were there any unexpected reactions or comments?
The donor didn’t give immediate response but rather asked to lay the request at the feet of Christ.
3. Based on the outcome and the donor’s feedback, what insights did you gain? How might you refine your approach or communication to enhance future interactions with potential donors?
It think it’s important to know your donor well, what interest them & how they make decisions.
