Testimonials

  • Our development staff uses the Asking Matters webinars to stimulate our thinking. Each month a group of us join the webinar and then have a great, productive conversation afterwards. The sessions are interesting, engaging and thought provoking.

     

    Cory Jacobs
    Senior Director of Major Gifts at Binghamton University

  • “I liked the different styles. It’s like learning what your staff and volunteers are really good at and what are red lights for them. Asking in a ‘straight, scripted style’ was a red light for me – the intuitive style gives me a green light. Now, I just have to put my foot on the gas and go!”

  • “Asking Matters” is just what I needed, an inexpensive tool that will give board and development committee members the confidence to ask. Thank you for “Asking Matters.”
