SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting: The Art of the Ask
DESCRIPTION:“The Art of the Ask” with Janell Johnson and Aaron Johnson from Kinetic \nNot every ask will end with an immediate yes\, but with the right approach\, you’ll never hear a definitive no. Through thorough donor research and tailored cultivation\, you can uncover key insights into a donor’s capacity and interest. Confidence in asking comes not from self-assurance\, but from trust in the process built over time. Even if the answer isn’t a resounding yes\, you’ll hear\, “Not now\, but maybe with more cultivation\,” turning every interaction into a future opportunity. \nRegister Now!
