Not so with Brian Seiber's webinar. I plan to rewatch it several times, take more notes, and take advantage of all the extra materials he provided with the webinar.”

“I always do better in person, because limiting interactions, especially in a school environment, is challenging at best; that said, I was impressed with the materials provided and the level of knowledge of the speaker.

“Brian was such a good and authentic guide to the nuances of asking. I was particularly struck by his humility and his openness, sharing that some of the same things that make so many of us uncomfortable in asking have made *him* uncomfortable too. In my experience with fundraising webinars, this is unusual. I will definitely be back for Brian's other webinars through CharityHowTo!”

“Getting to know the nuances of the Ask is challenging, but you guys make it easier to learn it.”

Often times, I feel like you are just told how to write a "good" letter, but you are never shown examples that need improvement. It can be hard to critique your own work.

In 1 1/2 hours Simon helped to completely reshape my thank you notes. For these results, I'll gladly invest my time again.”

What a better time than during this pandemic where we have time to let our creative juices flow and make changes!”

Using the Phone without Fear: How To Make Fundraising and Thank You Calls People Love to Receive

“Extremely informative and tremendously useful tactics. Real examples used for complete clarity and understanding.”

“A great webinar to attend if you're new to the nonprofit sector or have hesitations regarding phone calls.”

“I felt silly registering since I have been a fundraiser for 8 years and SHOULD know how to make donor calls. I'm so glad I joined! There were gaps in my knowledge and I feel excited to make calls with a more structured and complete flow.”

“This information was very helpful for me as a new fundraiser. Calling donors or potential donors causes me anxiety. I know some of the tips we received during the webinar will help me to feel more confident.”

“The speaker was very engaging and knowledgeable in this field. I found the recommendations and resources provided to be practical and easily implemented.”

“I appreciated receiving real-life examples and stats that I can share with my Board and volunteers.”

August 26th, 2020.
“The information shared during this webinar is relevant not only for fundraising but also for general volunteer engagement. Social media and electronic communications are efficient and cheap ways to communicate, but results in less and less meaningful individual connection with our members and supporters. Using phone calls more effectively will pay big dividends as we build direct relationships with our members and supporters, improve fundraising, and increase volunteer engagement.”

August 26th, 2020.
“This was very helpful, and it gave me new ideas on how to approach raising money!”

“It’s great to be able to interact with the presenter during a webinar. The presenter of this webinar, Simon, managed to read and respond to comments/questions while keeping the topic moving forward. That is a fantastic skill. He was conversational and added a little humor and personality to the ‘event.’ He’s the perfect phone personality, I imagine, that I’d be happy to get a phone call from.”

August 26th, 2020.
“Addressing the different types of calls was very important, but there was actual, useful "new" material that I had not heard/read before. Really like the idea of call structure, not script. Also appreciate the idea that there are several ways to approach your own call process. So nice to know I am not alone in my desire to make calls in private! Support materials are very useful as well.”

April 29th, 2020.
“The speaker was great. Engaging and informative and the topic was important and relevant. All fundraisers need reminding how important phone calls are to our job and how best to approach calls with confidence and success. This webinar provided great tools and inspiration to get started.”

April 14th, 2020.
“This is a wonderful how to for beginners and some nice highlights for those needing a refresh.”

April 14th, 2020.

Ashley Schmitt, The Humane Society of Greater Dayton

February 3rd, 2020

April 2nd, 2019.
“I like that Simon addressed that “fear of the phone” right at the start. Then he helped guide in very practical ways who to call and what to say. AND who not to call. This is not a cold call presentation. Totally the opposite and very valuable.”

April 2nd, 2019.
“This nonprofit webinar was informative, humorous, and uniquely catered toward fundraising professionals.”
