In Need of Some Clairification?
I have a dream you will re-evaluate your raison d’etre. You will ask yourself whether you’re in the business of selling, and you won’t answer cavalierly. You will not pat yourself on the back for being different than your for-profit brethren. You will not tell yourself that nonprofits are about mission and values and doing good deeds; whereas for-profits are about greed and sales. You will re-evaluate why people compare “making the ask” to “making the sale.”
