Can a simple checklist reduce the complexity of your fundraising operations?  It sounds too simple. Maybe even too systematized and rigid and robotic. But what if the complexity of our lives requires the simplest of solutions to give us back the time to do more human stuff…like having coffees and lunches?  Or calling someone on the phone? Or making a meaningful connection? And what if a series of simple checklists can help us spend less time worrying about rote and repetitive tasks of fundraising, and more time engaging donors? In today's short episode, we talk about why now might be a good time to create some simple checklists with your team—and how it might help you increase your fundraising performance.
