Date: Wednesday, July 9, 2008

About the Event
Donor-centered relationship building: do this well and you'll significantly improve your donor retention. But where do you start? This audio conference teaches you the essentials of building lasting donor relationships. You will learn how to upgrade your fundraising program from one that is merely "transaction-based" to one that is profitably "relationship-based." You will learn to become truly donor-centric and avoid counter-productive -- yet common -- "donor-indifferent" behaviors. You'll take a guided tour of the eight steps that guarantee good relationships.

Participants will:

1.Understand the importance of donor-centrism and emotions.

2.Appreciate the twists and turns of the relationship-building process.

3.Be introduced to the components of relationship building.

4.Identify measures of effectiveness in relationship building.
