Improving Your Annual Fund Results—Anthony Alonso , Advantage Consulting

What’s the secret behind a 20% bump in annual fund revenues?

The much-maligned telephone solicitation. But not the old, intrusive kind. That dinosaur is extinct! Today’s annual phone appeal needs an upgrade.

You’ve probably wondered, with the proliferation of caller ID’s, telezappers, and predictive dialers, is there still a place for telephone fundraising in your mix? The answer: a highly profitable “Yes!”

We will discuss segmentation strategies, use of e-mail, setting ask amounts, caller education, use of pre-call materials, and their effectiveness as well as other ways your in-house or outsourced phone program can become a showcase for your organization. This session will also brief you on new federal and state regulations, as well as market trends.
