Here’s what attendees from the 2009 Symposium had to say:
“The Symposium inspired my new motto: Think big. Be ambitious for your mission!”
“One of my big take-aways was the importance of genuinely progressing with a donor through the hierarchy of “yeses” before making an ask for a major gift.”
“The Symposium was terrific and I was thrilled to have had a board member attend with me. Identifying who decision makers are was very helpful and the tools to move someone through meaningful engagement were wonderful.”
“I learned that when speaking to prospects, they only remember 20% of what you say, so ask question that move them closer to your cause … and listen. Both of you and they will remember the answers.”
