In this week's Quick Tip Simon works through his 'Circles' exercise step-by-step, helping you identify the companies that are most likely to partner with you.

A fundraiser not having conversations with beneficiaries is like a sports writer not watching the game!
Yes indeed...as a fundraiser you have to put aside time each week to talk to beneficiaries, front-line staff, volunteers, Board Members and donors. Asking the right questions will find you the stories and quotes that will make up your most effective content.
In the latest short Quick Tip Simon will talk you through how to do this step-by-step, and how to make your fundraising better!
