You are so RIGHT! I hear from prospect research folks who say to fundraisers who just want more information, "Just ask them!" I call it analysis paralysis. We are talking about people right? Conversation is still the name of the game. And the more of it you do with active listening skills and not about asking for money, the more successful we will be as fundraisers. If you want money, ask for advice, if you want advice, ask for money. Thanks so much for sharing! Jason,
