It was a pleasure to be a guest on fellow fundraiser Joan Garry’s podcast this week! We discussed the 4 Asking Styles, and how to use your personal strengths and weaknesses to your advantage when asking for donations. Here’s what Joan had to say about the session:
“When I started as the Executive Director at GLAAD a long time ago, I had no fundraising experience at all. Good thing I was an extrovert and a quick learner!
On the latest episode of the podcast, I had Brian Saber as my guest, fundraiser extraordinaire. He taught me that, in fact, you don’t have to be an extrovert at all to be a terrific fundraiser. Who knew?
Turns out there are four different styles of fundraising and your personality dictates which will work best for you (and which will result in failure.)
If you’re involved in fundraising at all — staff or board — you’ll want to listen to this.“
