TODAY I’m going to share what I believe is the most powerful thing you can do to raise more money. And I’ll do it “live” from the comfort of your office or home computer screen!
At 11 am CST/Noon EST I’m delivering a Free Live Stream training: Advanced Storytelling: Blending Your Money and People Stories for Greater Impact. Tune in at 11 am CST to learn my advanced storytelling techniques!
You can find the live stream on my home page or here on Ustream where you can comment and engage with me during the session.
It’s true sharing a powerful story allows your community to share a glimpse into the lives of the people your organizations serves. But, we both know it takes more than a “warm” story to cause people to give, right?
Both the head and heart must be engaged for people to take action.
I’m happy to see that many organizations are sharing client stories these days. Unfortunately, most don’t do what I call, advanced storytelling: effortlessly combining your money and your people stories.
What if I told you that when you combine your “money story” with the amazing stories of the people you serve you would:
- Raise more money
- Attract more media attention
- Gain more community and corporate support
- And convert your Board members into powerful ambassadors!
And what happens when you have engaged, connected supporters? Magic. One organization who has deeply embraced using my advanced storytelling techniques reported that the first year they raised 720% OVER their budget!
The organization found that the more transparent they were about the true costs to do their work, combined with a story people can’t easily forget, the more willing supporters are to share their time and money.
On today’s advanced storytelling live stream I’ll take viewers through my Advanced Storytelling Message Pyramid so you can easily see how to combine your money story with your people stories.
The framework I use to teach people to share powerful, engaging stories is available to you in my Step-by-Step Storytelling System which has just been updated to include:
- A fun, new, easy-to-follow infographic guiding you through how to dive into & get the most out of the Storytelling System. Download yours when you click on the image to the left.
- A new outline for blending your money and people stories.
- Two new sample stories with the money & people story combined.
- A new advanced storytelling checklist.
My mission is to help you raise more money.
My vision is that you are able to do that with ease.
Tune in to view the live stream at 11 am CST to learn how to do just that!
