5 Things to Never Do on Your Telefundraising Calls
Despite new technologies and strategies, raising money via the phone still works — and it relies on good, old-fashioned courtesy and fundraising basics.
A pledge is a promise to pay a specified amount of money on or by a specific date. Be sure to repeat the amount, at least three times, with the prospect’s assent. Also agree on a date by which the gift is to be sent.
Be sure to update the prospect’s address and email address so your organization can communicate in a timely and more efficient manner, perhaps even enabling a prospect to honor his pledges by entering his credit card information via a Web link.
