What People Said About This Seminar "[I appreciated] the clear steps outlining the solicitation process
- helpful suggestions for establishing a rapport with a prospect" "I like that the seminar talked about very specific how-to's
[for major gifts] and not just generalities." "I really wanted to know exact wording for asking a person
for a major gift. This was very helpful." "Great content! Moderators had excellent knowledge and background." It was helpful to learn to look "at donor amounts to determine
where the donor is in terms of their involvement with the organization." "There were nuggets of insight and it was useful having
it wrapped in a package." "Overall presentation was well organized, making the steps
of asking for a major gift very understandable. Took away a little
of the fear about the ask." The most important aspect for us was "New strategies for
making face-to-face major asks, reviewing important steps leading
up to visit." "Very good speakers. Practical information, good advice." "This gave some of our board a good perspective on a lot
of the concepts of fundraising they did not even knew existed." About Kevin Flattery: Kevin Flattery is a veteran fundraiser.
