For the professional fundraiser, this website delivers fast facts and insightful overviews to help you close more and larger gifts faster.
*Elevator Pitch
An elevator pitch is a conversation starter. It’s a concise, carefully planned, and well-practiced description of your product or service that anyone will be able to understand in the time it takes to ride up in an elevator or less. It is not a monologue, and it is not a sales pitch. Don’t get caught up in using the entire pitch to sell the prospect on the tool or gift structure. Your prospect is “buying” you and your mission, not the gift plan. So don’t blab on about the details of a remainder trust. Tell the prospect about the impact and outcomes created through your work. The language we use for each elevator pitch is informal because it’s a quick summary of the gift’s selling points. Say it in your own words, as if you were talking to your favorite aunt.
