- 6. Creating Compelling Virtual Asks • Stay true to your organization's mission, values, and vision. • Keep your goals in mind: building connections and fostering community. • Prioritize intentional authenticity, as it leads to increased volunteer engagement. Why is this important?
- 7. Creating Compelling Virtual Asks Scenario #1: “In person meetings with donors are not possible.” Solution: Request a Zoom briefing with major donors. If the response rate is low, record the briefing and send it to them for later viewing.
- 8. Creating Compelling Virtual Asks Scenario #2: “Volunteer engagement has decreased within the last few years.” Solution: Use your communication channels to showcase testimonials from current volunteers and leverage them as a call to action.
- 9. Creating Compelling Virtual Asks Scenario #3: “We are reluctant to tell donors how well we are doing because of recent times.” Solution: If your current campaign has outperformed the last three years and represents a historic success for your organization, it's important to share this news with donors.
- 11. Voice. EXPRESSION In recent years, we have realized the power of virtual platforms. How can we ensure that our message resonates through a computer screen?
- 12. Voice. EXPRESSION In the last two years, I have made more fundraising requests using a virtual platform than via email or phone. Times have changed.
- 13. Voice. TONE Consider your on-screen presence.
- 14. Voice. TONE Your body language conveys your organization's attitude. Your body language reflects your organization's culture.
- 15. Voice. POWER OF PAUSE When you talk endlessly, people react in one of two ways: 1. They zone out of the conversation. 2. They end the conversation before you make The Ask.
