Join me and my new pal Ramon to talk about similar best practices in sales and fundraising. Ramon and I explore how bad salespeople and bad fundraisers give us all a bad name, the power of relationship and the need to invest in yourself to succeed. Some key takeaways:
Bringing the right energy and being in the right headspace are key to fundraising and sales.
Invest in yourself to increase your skills–don’t wait for someone else to give you permission.
Focus on building the relationship and the rest will follow.
Believing deeply in your product (or mission) to improve your client’s (or donor’s) life will drive success.
I really enjoyed this wide-ranging conversation and it was an eye-opener for me to realize how similar sales and fundraising are (and how they’re different in important ways!). To connect with Ramon, check him out on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ramon-w-basie/
