Listen now
Description
Is it time we ditch the marketing funnel and replace it with a flywheel? Today we’re introducing the concept of the Fundraising Flywheel—a 5-step framework to help donors become an important part of the team and improve your fundraising.  The flywheel is simply our way of codifying the fundamentals of fundraising done well: ListenEngageAskCelebrate Report A flywheel is like a big, heavy wheel that helps things keep moving. It's like a toy top that you spin. Once you get it spinning, it keeps going for a little while, even after you stop turning it. The Fundraising Flywheel works the same way. It’s a bit of work to get it spinning. But once you master the 5 parts of the flywheel, your fundraising flywheel will start to gain momentum reliably. With a lot less effort on your part. Your revenue will grow—and so will your career. — ➡️ Join our FREE training on how to create compelling fundraising messaging that leads donors to action and raises more money, from more people, more often—simply by changing the words you use: https://www.5minutefundraisingfix.com/register 🤔 What else would you like to know about improving your fundraising and becoming an effective nonprofit marketer?
