Old-Fashioned Fundraising: The Face-to-Face Advantage
Description: Hey, it’s Denis O’Brien from Make Your Film with today’s thoughts on old-fashioned fundraising. While digital tools are great, the truth remains: face-to-face is where deals are truly sealed. Whether it’s breaking bread, a casual pickleball game, Skiing or even hitting the links (badly), personal connection makes all the difference.
I break down the magic of Soft Pitch, Hard Close—how to casually engage and show earnestness without being pushy, then confidently close when interest sparks.
Face-to-face isn’t just about deals; it’s about showing who you are and building trust. Listen in for tips on how to make it work for you!
Key Takeaways:
- Why in-person fundraising still works better than emails or calls.
- How to master the art of Soft Pitch, Hard Close.
- Strategies for staying genuine while being determined.
