Support raising is a dense subject! Right? Right.
As I continue to teach on support raising, I’ve found typically there is more to teach than time allots for. As I coach numerous small groups and individuals, we just never get to all of the things. Teaching and learning how to raise a budget can be like drinking from a fire hydrant. #TOOMANYTHINGS
Thus, I’m calling this post: The B Roll.
This post goes out to all of those workers I have coached along the way! Here are some random pieces of information that may have gotten stuck in the cracks of little time, lots of practice, and dense material.
I mentioned above the post on How To Create a Successful Facebook Campaign. Check it out and I hope it helps!
Also, a quick word on #5…I’m not saying never ask for a appointment on Facebook. I’m just saying do some strategic thinking before you do, and I wouldn’t default to it.
Want more practical tips, you can find them in the Financial Partnership Development Workbook here.
One thing I did contrary to what you suggest above is that I hand-wrote my support letters, especially to family who were located far away. Written correspondence and old-fashioned letter writing has long been part of my MO, and it just made sense. Also, I felt God really impress upon me that this was the right course of action. Sometimes personal beats computer-typed and professional.
