Training & Individual Development
Fundraising is a sales function and the best fundraisers are great salespeople. Yet salespeople in the commercial world, whilst performing a vital function, have a reputation that may not be appropriate for a charity.
The best fundraisers will come to the role with a predisposition to sell and a love of sales, a passion for the cause and, perhaps, previous involvement in its work. Some of these attributes can be learnt and by using proven sales techniques, income can be significantly increased. But the standards of ethics and morality that you set for yourselves must also be met.
