Are you a Rainmaker, Go-Getter, Kindred Spirit, or Mission Controller?

The Four Asking Styles

The Four Asking Styles: Rainmaker, Go-Getter, Kindred Spirit, Mission Controller

There’s no single right way to ask for a donation. Some people prepare detailed presentations. Others work from a few talking points and let the conversation guide them. Some feel energized by asking for a gift. For others, asking takes courage.

You have your own Asking Style. Understanding it can help you recognize the strengths you already bring to fundraising—and approach donor conversations with greater confidence.

The quiz shows you your primary and secondary Asking Styles. Bring your results to the webinar. As Brian explains the Styles, you’ll be able to connect his guidance to your own approach to preparing, building donor relationships, and asking for support.
