Winning Gifts—Make Your
Donors Feel Like Winners

Come hear the winning approach to enhancing your relationship with your donors from the book, Winning Gifts—Make Your Donors Feel Like Winners.

What’s in it for you?
Using a win-win approach, the objective is to make the donor feel like a winner as they give their hard-earned money away to a given cause—your cause. Be more effective, save time and increase your impact.

You’ll motivate donors to higher levels of giving immediately by understanding how to:

  • Listen to your top 25 donors in 25 days
  • Present your case effectively to inspire giving
  • Make the win win ask and close the deal

Take home tool—Finding the time to Do It All

“If you read nothing else this year, put Winning Gifts on your must read list. From the basics to the advanced, Wilson stresses the relationship elements in all fundraising success and creates a truly donor centered skill set for fundraising professionals in all fields. The listening skills chapter alone is worth the price of admission along with the practical advice and counsel.”
