Perfect Pitch: Nail Every Ask with A Compelling and Consistent Case for Support

(For All Levels of Experience)




Crafting a perfect “pitch” for your cause is not rocket science.

In fact, the hard part is keeping it simple. 


In this powerful and hands-on training, we will learn and practice the fundamentals using sophisticated tips about human persuasion and communication. This training is not about “asking” or “soliciting” as much as it is about having a powerful, compelling, and consistent way of explaining your cause. This makes asking 10 times easier. Pitching has gotten a bad rap. Ignore the terminology and tune in for practical and immediately useful tips. 

One of the things holding back volunteers, board members, newbies, and others from asking for money is that they think they have to rehearse a script or memorize statistics or programs. The most powerful fundraising is authentic, simple, and personal. This training will take the radical act of simplifying the steps in perfecting your pitch and leave you feeling empowered that you are your organization’s expert.

We got lots of very positive comments from people. Laura from Vermont said your training "Got us ready to 'move and shake,' and Shushma from Nepal said she now has her pitch and wants to practice it with me. My husband wasn’t on screen, but he got so interested tthat he stayed to watch instead of making dinner!”

“Your training was excellent, and we are already finding ourselves implementing some of your suggestions. For example, our most recent Kidpower Champions Corner newsletter is focused this month on just ONE THING, rather than our usual approach of sharing a lengthy list of accomplishments. I found that highlighting just one accomplishment allowed me to share things about our organization in more compelling ways than through a list of "what we've done in the last month. Additionally, our team in South America was deeply inspired and got to work right away on a Google Doc that makes it super easy to pick a 1) problem and 2) corresponding solution, and we have specific language and many examples of both which should get people working on their marketing videos with more confidence and less anxiety.”
