We get so focus on connecting electronically, that we can sometime miss out on the human connection, which often makes the difference in business. I imagine in fund raising, it seems even more important I guess since you are asking for money.

The organization I'm involved with, www.uPlej.com, has recognized the power of talking to charitable individuals over the phone and is now calling every person that joins us to thank them, get them excited and answer any questions they may have. We've gotten a lot of feedback from our users about how happy (and surprised) they were to receive a phone call from us. The phone is definitely a powerful tool when connecting with charitable individuals! Great post!
