 98% of Post-webinar Survey Respondents Rated this Webinar Recording as Great to Excellent!

During this 75-minute webinar recording, Brian Saber, who has raised hundreds of millions of dollars for small and medium-sized nonprofits, will share with you his most important findings over 25 years of successfully soliciting thousands of donors face-to-face.

Almost 90% of all charitable gifts come from individuals, and virtually no one gives their biggest gift without being asked face-to-face.  If you’re not out there asking, you’re leaving most of the charitable money on the table.
 
Do you know how to have an intentional conversation during which you ask a donor for a personally significant gift?  Do you ask the most revealing questions and get your donor to do most of the talking?  Do you feel comfortable with gift negotiations?
 
Join Brian Saber, one of the foremost experts on asking, as he drills deep into the solicitation meeting itself.  His “Awesome Ask” webinar is a perennial favorite, and he’s now taken one segment and expanded it into a powerful 90 minutes.
 
During this webinar recording you’ll learn how to: 

  • Take charge of the meeting to get the best results
  • Ask important and revealing questions
  • Make a concise case for support ending with an ask
  • Help your donor see clear to making a commitment
  • Use your personality to your best advantage
  • Respond to the most common forms of resistance

Before this session ends you’ll know: 

  • Why asking for an exact amount is critical and powerful
  • What your donor expects of you
  • The pitfalls to avoid
  • Brian’s top five questions to ask 

Bonus Materials:

  1. Amazingly Successful Solicitations Webinar Worksheet
  2. Conversation Questions for Cultivation and Solicitation Meetings
  3. An Intentional Conversation Guideline
  4. Segue to the Ask Handout
  5. Ask as You’d Be Asked Exercise
  6. Making the Ask Exercise

I have to say, in the past year I have attended a half a dozen development related webinars and this was by far the most useful. I absolutely loved Brian from Asking Matters. He was engaging, authentic, he didn't speak too quickly, and the supporting materials are filled with great exercises and practical information. Thank you!!!!!”
