Bonus Training – Getting Your Board Members ready for the Fall Fundraising Season

Are your board members equipped to help you raise money this Fall?

Or maybe your board already knows how to fundraise, but it makes them uncomfortable.

In either case, let me help you get your board members equipped and enthusiastic to help you raise money this Fall. And I’ll help you in a way that your board members will find fun.

Stories Make it Fun and Easy

One of the best ways to get board members motivated is to make their “task” fun and easy.

By getting board members to tell powerful stories that are simple and fun for them to share, board members naturally turn themselves into better fundraisers.

I have released a special series of online videos that will help turn your board members into natural storytellers. You’ll be able to share these videos with your board members and staff.

Here’s some of what you and your board members will learn:

• three types of stories they need to tell to raise more money
• the four building blocks of a powerful story
• seven story triggers to keep their listener captivated by the story
• 
three phrases to engage anybody
• how to structure a story for maximum effectiveness
• how to find great stories
• what types of details hurt a story and what types of details make your story more engaging

Confident and Happy Board Members 

I’m also going to walk you through how to get your board members feeling confident in telling stories.

Nothing beats experience, right?

So, I’ll provide you with the tools you need to give your board members the experience they need …and all within a safe environment.  Nothing scary 🙂

In fact, when I conduct workshops for board members, this is the part they have the most fun with.

I’m also going to send you something in the Mail
(A real, honest to goodness, physical thing)

When I was a kid, I’d order something through the mail.  The day it arrived at my house was an exciting day.  So…

Knowing how much fun it is to get something in the mail, I’d like to send you a little something.

Here’s what I’ll be sending you.

This special training for board members is based on the book I wrote called “Nonprofit Storytelling for Board Members”. In the last 16 months or so, we’ve sold over 5,000 of these books.  And that’s just basically through word of mouth (no ad campaigns, no big promotions).  I’d like to send you the book for free.

You’ll be able to use it as a simple guide and tool.

I think you’ll find it quite useful.

All this storytelling help is free?

Because the Nonprofit Storytelling Conference isn’t until November, we wanted to do something now to help everyone who’s coming to the conference get a jump on their fall and year end fundraising.

So, if you are coming to the conference, then “Yes”, this special “Storytelling for Board Members” training is absolutely free.

Here’s how it works

After you register for the conference, I’ll send you a welcome email that contains the link to where you can view the videos. You’ll also be able to download the board member storytelling “experience” tools.

I’ll also send out your free copy of the book: “Nonprofit Storytelling for Board Members”.  So be on the lookout for a package from me to arrive in your mailbox.

Our goal is to get you and your board members telling better stories so that you can raise more money and build stronger relationships with more donors.

So if you’d like to be a part of this special training, register for the conference .

I look forward to meeting you in person at the conference.  It’s going to be a lot of fun!

See you there.
