 5 keys to unlocking major gifts
 GET THE MAXIMUM SUPPORT FROM YOUR LIST WITHOUT RUINING RELATIONSHIPS WITH YOUR EXISTING DONORS 
I know how you feel...
you are under pressure to raise more money
Do you keep looking at the same list of names and have this sick feeling that what you hope they will give and what they will actually give is very different?
you have asked for directions but you are still lost.
You feel like you are wandering in the desert, never knowing if the next gift you seek is an oasis or a mirage.
YOU HAVE ATTENDED SEMINARS
You went to a seminar and felt pumped. The speakers were great and their ideas seemed so applicable. Then when you got back to your office and tried to implement the ideas, you didn't know what to do next.

YOU HAVE READ BOOKS AND BLOGS
People keep recommending books to you, and you read them, underline them, love them. but then what? You can't seem to translate the concepts into your particular situation. 

YOU HAVE BEEN THROWN INTO THIS POSITION WITHOUT TRAINING OR GUIDANCE
You are passionate about your cause and want to do your best, but you are afraid to do anything because you don't want to damage existing donor relationships.

YOU SEE OTHER ORGANIZATIONS RAISING LOTS OF MONEY 
You're tempted to resent them, or credit their success to sleek marketing, but you know there must be a system out there that they have and you don't.
I was one of those fundraisers who was closing big gifts and you were tempted to resent. 

I learned from the best coaches and raised hundreds of millions of dollars!
Organizations Hired Me to come Share my Secrets...
I worked with hundreds of fundraisers who were struggling and under pressure to raise more money each year.

I presented hundreds of hours of training materials and found there were five keys that unlocked the door to success with major gifts -- five keys that are essential for every organization. 

Then I ran into a problem...
The non-profit community was accustomed to two delivery mechanisms that made sharing these keys difficult.

One traditional delivery mechanism was high-priced consultants. 

I had one non-profit executive tell me he'd hired a consultant and that they were long on advice and short on action. And yes, I would say that is the problem. 

But people keep spending money on these firms -- $10,000 or $20,000 a month -- because nobody ever got fired for hiring the firm that’s been around for 40 years with the big staff. It's safe and established. But once they leave, most organizations find themselves right back where they were before. 

Maybe they ride the wave for a few months, some good donations come in, but then it slowly goes back to the same old issues. And of course many organizations can't afford to hire those firms in the first place...

The second traditional delivery mechanism was seminars.

Seminars seem like a cheaper option at first. Over two or three days you get 16 or 24 hours of content presented to you and it's like drinking from a fire-hose. You're motivated, and that's worth something, but at best you go home with two or three ideas that are maybe actionable. 

You go back to your office and stare at your computer screen and keep doing what you were doing before, occasionally remembering that thing you heard at that seminar that one time. 

Then you add up the cost of the seminar, including registration and travel expenses for one or two or three or more people in your office and realize it wasn't that cheap of an option after all.
I found a better way!
Deeper, more meaningful, and more profitable relationships with your donors is possible. You can raise money like the "big" non-profits.
To Raise more money you need these five keys to unlocking major gifts
Having deeper and more meaningful relationships with your donors is possible. 

Relationships where the natural outgrowth -- the natural next step -- is that the donor stands on their tip-toes and gives a gift bigger and more audacious than they’ve ever given before.

I have a lot of fundraisers tell me they’re not afraid to ask and they say it with some pride. I can understand their pride because it takes a bit of nerve to ask for a gift and a lot of people will never do it.

But often, these same fundraisers who tell me they’re not afraid to ask will admit to me that they’re not having the success. They’re not afraid to ask but they’re not closing much.

You will start closing 3 out of 4 gifts that you ask for. That’s the goal. And you can do that with these 5 Keys to unlocking major gifts.
Here’s what these 5 keys will do for you.

First, you’re going to retain more of your donors and you’re going to see marginal increases in giving from your existing donors. Now I know, I know. You don’t want marginal increases. You want exponential increases. And good for you. I like that about you. But this is the first step. First, we want to keep your current donors so you can stop spending so much time replacing low dollar donors.

We want your current donors to have a great giving experience with your organization so that instead of losing them you begin to see marginal increases in their giving.  You are going to provide such a great giving experience to your donors that a few of them start to move up and give more without being asked. It’s like these people are raising their hands and telling you, “I’m a major gift prospect!” 

The next step is meeting with these donors face-to-face. You want face-to-face meetings. But it doesn't matter how much you want to meet if you can't get your donors to take meetings! Using these 5 Keys you will get more meetings.

When you get the meeting, your meetings are going to be more productive. I’m going to share with you how to give your meetings a sense of purpose -- and believe me -- I’m serious about this -- your donors will sense that you’ve come in with a purpose and they will rise to the occasion of the meeting.

You are going to be a more effective storyteller. Everyone likes to say they know how important it is to listen. Of course listening is important. We’ll talk about listening the gift. But what you really need to do is identify the listening preferences of your donors so you can tell your story in a way they’ll more readily grab onto. This program will help you do just that. Donors will hear more and remember more of what you say.
With these 5 Keys here’s what happens
  •  You end up with happy donors. 
  • Donors who stay and give more without being asked.
  •  Donors who will take your meetings. 
  •  And donors who’ll stand on their tip-toes to give bigger, more audacious gifts than they’ve ever given before.
  •  You’re going to be stronger. 
  •  You’re going to be more confident
  •  You’re going to be closing gifts
You’re going to understand the process you need to go through to close your next big gift, and your next one, and your next one.
Can I really do this for you in an hour long training?
Okay, I know I say it's an hour long training in the video above. It's actually a more than an hour. 

Can a training like this really change your life? 
Yes. It's the foundation. I have a very robust training program that we can go through together, but this one-hour training will give you the foundation. 

If you like it, I think you will know that there's a lot more I could do to help you, but this program is the foundation.

Stewardship Basics Scorecard

Having more happy donors who’ll be increasingly more loyal to you, your donor retention rates going up so you’re not constantly replacing low-dollar donors -- and donors giving you more without even being asked. Sound good?
Your first job is to ensure your donors have a remarkable giving experience with your organization The Stewardship Basics Scorecard will reveal where you’re at, and give you practical ways to make real improvements.
Book your Strategic Fundraising Workshop now and we’ll give you our Stewardship Basics Scorecard. It’s pretty simple. It’s like any test you took in school. If you get a 90 or better you’re doing pretty good. If you get a 60 or worse, well, you know what that means. The Scorecard shouldn’t take more than 5 minutes to complete, but improving your score -- moving from a 60 to a 70 or a 60 to an 80 -- that does take some work. But it’s not about getting a good score on our Stewardship Basics Scorecard. It's about doing stewardship well.

Strategic Questions

Your job as a fundraiser is to get the donor talking... But not just talking about the weather or their dogs. If you want more productive donor meetings, these questions will position you as a professional fundraiser, and when you start asking them you will witness your donors rising to the occasion of your meeting.
By asking these questions, you will get the donor articulating your mission in their words and your donor will open up to you about what would motivate them to give bigger gifts. By simply asking these questions, you will immediately have better donors meetings and see improved results. 
And on this page only 
I'm including the full length interviews with the donors featured 
in Major Donor Secrets Revealed 
In Major Donor Secrets Revealed we share highlights from four interviews conducted with people who have given major gifts. When you buy 5 Keys to Unlocking Major Gifts, we're giving you access to the full interviews. That's 5 additional hours of content.

For the cost of your lunch, you can make a real difference in your fundraising career -- and in advancing the mission of your organization.

I know how you feel as a fundraiser.

Like you’re wandering in the dark and wish that someone would take your hand and lead you?

I know that feeling.

When I got started in fundraising I was fortunate to have access to great training. My mentor was Jerold Panas. Jerry's training meant so much to my career because Jerry was the best fundraising coach of his time. Hands down. He was a legend. Sadly, Jerry passed away this past year. 
I want to be the Jerold Panas of my generation. That’s why I treasure a letter Jerry once wrote to a university president on my behalf that contains this line:

“He [Clark] knows how to manage people, he works effectively with volunteers and board members, he knows every aspect of fundraising and operating a development office, and best of all — he loves asking for gifts. He’s a star.”

Jerry trained me.  For ten years I’ve now been following in his footsteps.
Organizations have gone on to raise, in some cases, tens of millions of dollars, using the 5 keys to unlocking major gifts. This training could change your life. It could forever change the trajectory of your organization. For the cost of a lunch.

If this is so amazing why is it just $17?
Ok. Brutal honesty here. This program is amazing, and we should be charging a lot more for it, but we are offering it at this price now because we want you to use this training as a test drive. We want you to listen to the program, have some success and then come back to us for all your training needs. We offer a lot of other training and coaching products covering in depth all these topics and a lot more. Those are much more expensive, still an amazing value, but much more than $17. 

If you find this training helpful you will want the other ones. So this is like the "Lite" version. We are willing to basically give this away because we are confident that once you see how this works you are going to want the "full" version and keep coming back to us for all of your training and consultation needs.

I contributed to all areas of our fundraising effort including major gifts, estate planning, direct mail, events, donor recognition & involvement, working with volunteers, board appointments, and board development.

In 2008 I launched a firm to help other non-profits raise money. I've worked with large and small non-profits in education, animal rescues, advocacy groups, political and humanitarian causes, and religious institutions. I have personally participated in more than 1,800 individual donor meetings and have helped close more than $100 Million in charitable gifts.
