Here's a familiar story.   A charity looks for a “rainmaker” —a fundraiser who is so charming, so outgoing, and so cunning that they will bring in millions. Or a nonprofit seeks out a star marketer who will take their message to the next level, and bring a flash of inspiration to the team for a viral digital campaign.  But what if transformational fundraising isn’t about the one-in-a-million person?  Or idea?  Or advertising campaign?  What if transformational and sustainable fundraising growth is a function of process.  On today's podcast, Mike and Louis get into developing a process to fund the entire pipeline from first time giver to legacy leaver, and committing to that process so that revenue growth comes out the other side.  Because maybe revenue growth—for the most part—isn’t feats of genius, works of magic, or flashes of inspiration. But a product of process. And a consistent process = consistent progress.  And consistent progress compounds over time.
