Masterclass 2: Major Gifts with Craige Gravestein
Session Overview:

Before afternoon tea: Developing the meeting plan for a big ask

You should never ask someone for a big gift until you are at least 80% sure of a yes.  Xponential’s Meeting Plan is a powerful and practical tool that will take you on the journey to have that confidence for you and your (influential) Advocate.  Eleven Steps, one page and about two hours is what is needed to ‘build the case that you have the right’ to make this Ask, now.

After afternoon tea: How to ask for a big gift

No one likes asking someone for a big gift!  What words can you use that sound like you?  What words will roll off your tongue naturally, as you invite a probable donor to consider a big gift to your cause?  Taking the time to understand the structure of an Ask will give you a professional flexibility to make the ask your way.  Doing so, will increase your success rate, exponentially.
