01
We craft the prospect
You give us a real prospect or a composite. We write the brief, the giving history and direct the resistance the actor will bring into the room.
02
You make the solicitation
A full solicitation, in character, without rescue. Uncomfortable on purpose — the real meeting will be too.
03
You get the report
A written debrief in our strength-based format: what to maintain, what to enhance, what to avoid — plus general observations.
What people practice
Refining their language
New approaches, for campaigns and annual giving alike
Moving from small talk to the solicitation organically
Trustees soliciting their peers
Closing, confirming and documenting the commitment
Formats
Individual coaching
One hour. One gift officer, one session, one report. Best before a specific meeting.
Development team intensive
A half day. Every officer solicits, everyone watches, everyone gets written feedback.
Board session
Run at a retreat or a board meeting. The fastest way to turn reluctant trustees into solicitors.
Nobody forgets their first major gifts solicitation.
We give you the support and confidence you need so that the real thing feels familiar.
