Why I think We Do Well
• Business Acumen – planning, monitoring, clear goals
• Income Focussed – breakdown into months – bite size
• Whiteboard in the office
• Regular updates
• Good communication - Team Talk
• Relationship Management – little cards – phone calls
• Trust & Rapport
• Connection
• The right people
• Team work
• Passion for the cause – tell a story
Passion For the Cause – sharing the message
• A presentation – think of style, content, audience, result
• Use experience, someone who has benefited from the cause, tell their story
• Be brave and talk about what you want to achieve by the news – tell them what the money is for, tell them how much we need, tell them what a difference it makes & to whom.
• Overcome the difficult conversations – especially if it’s about bereavement – get some training in place on how to deal with them & overcome the awkward words etc
• Deliver your sales pitch wherever & whenever

• Was it real? And was the ask achievable?
• Would you want to donate?
Challenges we face
• Budget & cash flow
• GDPR
• Staff resources
• People management
• Tired & lack of resilience…too sensitive
