Hi, my name is Sachin and today's video is going to talk about Tips for Face to
Face Fundraisers. So if you are a Face to Face Fundraiser
yourself, or if you are in the world of charity, or if you are interested in
knowing about Face to Face Fundraising this is the right place to be.
Tip number one: Be on time. As Face to Face Fundraisers one thing that we should
never ever do is reach late to the venue. No matter where the venue is if
there is a given time that you're supposed to be there make sure that you
are there. People will respect you for that
Tip number Two: Don't be afraid to approach as many people as you can.
Don't be scared of them when you're there, out there,
the people that are passing by you, stop them, ask permission to talk to them.
The more number of people that you talk to the better it will be.
Tip number Three: Know your subject. Very, very important as a Face to Face
Fundraiser if you're going to be asking people to donate to your cause every
month one thing that they should definitely know is what cause they are supporting.
The more you know about the organization the better it is and it will help you.
Tip number Four: Targets. Never ever be scared of them. Targets are a by-product
of what you do before that. Do your number of approaches, talk to the required
number of people, know your subject and you will meet your targets month after month.
Tip number Five: I am looking right into your eyes. Make sure that when
you're talking to people at different locations you maintain eye contact.
Don't look here and there. Talk to them right in the eye. If they have to say no,
they should say no after looking into your eyes. Make sure that you do maintain eye contact that's absolutely important.
Tip number Six: Law of Average. You might have heard
of this term but let me explain it to you. It's very simple. If you approach 100 people
then ten people will stop listen to your presentation, and if ten people stop and
listen to your presentation at least one of them will definitely, definitely,
contribute to your cause. So make sure that you are approaching
the right number of people so you give the right presentations.
and then you get sign ups (Donors)
Tip number Seven: Very important, Ask questions.
As fundraisers, we might not have all the information in this world, but what
should not stop us is asking questions and getting as much information as you
can. This is something that will help you not only in your fundraising career, as a
fundraiser, but will help you grow as well the more information that you have the
better it will be at a job.
Tip number Eight: Celebrate your successes and your failures.
Success is fine because we all celebrate successes, but as
a team, our job is very, very tough and it's important that when we have
those tough days, tough times, we come together as a team and we celebrate.
Tip number Nine: Never force somebody to put money into your cause.
Convince them and try to inspire them
by the work that your organization does but never force them.
A donor that you acquire by forcing someone will never stay with you.
That loyalty will never be there. A good fundraiser will
always get donors who are good quality donors who were not being acquired by forcing
So never do that.
And Tip number Ten: Have lots of fun!
As fundraisers our job is really, really tough. The reason I have been in fundraising
for the last 16 years is because I've had great fun doing this job. I know that
this job is bringing about a lot of change. I have worked with amazing sets
of people so make sure that you enjoy what you do. This whole process is a
learning process and you should have fun.
So those were my 10 tips, I hope you found them useful
stay tuned because I will be sharing
many more tips that I have learned in my fundraising experience with you all and
the most important thing- Never Lose Hope!
