I Wrote This Just for You
An experienced fundraiser like you wouldn't' be fooled by a lead like that. Would you?
Actually, yes, you probably would, if only for a moment.
We all want to believe we're special. Even when we know better, we still want someone to tell us we are.
It's one of the least special things about us. We all feel that way. So when you tell a donor or prospect he or she is unique, most of the time it's exactly what he or she wants to hear.
