"Strategic Steps to Secure Financial Support"

  • Develop a list of all supporters by compiling contacts from your phone, including names, phone numbers, and addresses.
  • Select the top 10, 20, 30, or 50 individuals from this list whom you believe will financially support your cause.
  • Calculate the amount of money needed for your ministry by creating a budget and determining the average donation amount.
  • If, for instance, you require $2,000 monthly and the average donation is $50, you would need 40 people committing to $50 each.
  • To secure these 40 donors, aim for 80 face-to-face appointments, which would necessitate making 160 phone calls.
  • During phone calls, focus on scheduling appointments rather than immediate donations, explaining your purpose and setting up meetings.
  • When meeting face-to-face, emphasize the urgency and passion behind your mission, aiming for in-person interactions whenever possible.
  • Address potential questions briefly during phone calls, saving detailed explanations for face-to-face meetings to maintain efficiency.
  • Clearly communicate your intentions during phone calls, ensuring the purpose of the meeting and the need for financial support are upfront.
