Bonks. Sorries. Thanks. And throwing up in my mouth. | Agents of Good
Bonks. Sorries. Thanks. And throwing up in my mouth. | Agents of Good: "When you say “thank you”, and mean it, it’s a beautiful expression. Your donor tingles and sparkles in all the good ways. And it also makes you tingle and sparkle. It feels good for them. And for you.
I get it. I’m all about the feelings. And I know not everyone is.
But here’s the thing, for me, in a session at #AFPFC, a presenter talked about how sometimes donors don’t want a relationship. I nodded.
He continued, saying sometimes donors may give and all they need is a positive customer service experience. I half nodded. Because I think that even if all they need is a positive customer experience, they still deserve an experience that exceeds their expectations. But I’m still half nodding. Okay, I can go with it.
And then he suggested that we may be spending too much time on “relationship fundraising for donors” who only need “transactional marketing for consumers”. That’s when I threw up a little in my mouth."

@AFPFC Best Of IMHO | Talisman Thinking Out Loud
@AFPFC Best Of IMHO | Talisman Thinking Out Loud: "Another Association of Fundraising Professionals international fundraising conference is behind us. Even from Australia, I learned by plugging into social media #AFPFC and following some great people who posted great content. Here’s my roundup and if you want to access fundraising conference handouts and slides click here. If any of this inspires you to share your fundraising experience – submit your #afpfc 2017 speaker application before May 6!
This is important as we “talk” about 100% giving and fundraising around Board tables and this research will prove what we’ve been saying and show the impact and importance of the Board recruitment, empowerment and giving.Tom Ahern @thattomahern tweeted:"

The AFP Blog
The AFP Blog: "Hope in Dark Times
These are dark times. We felt battered by the news from Brussels yesterday morning. Everywhere we look we see evidence of man's inhumanity to man, the apparent crumbling of the sense of responsibility to work for a common good, towards shared objectives.
I know that, personally, I have struggled to make sense of this over the last few years, especially at times like this. It seems as if the values that I believe in have become irrelevant.
Yet I left Boston after this year's conference with a sense of renewed optimism, of hope and with a belief in the future. Why?
It was not just one thing. There was the commitment, passion and experience we heard and felt in the sessions. There was the reaching out and sharing with one another."

39 Ideas From AFPFC That Will Make You A Smarter Fundraiser in 2016 - Fired-Up Fundraising with Gail Perry
39 Ideas From AFPFC That Will Make You A Smarter Fundraiser in 2016 - Fired-Up Fundraising with Gail Perry: "The AFP International Conference is always a huge highlight of the year. And this year, I have to say that I thought it was the BEST ever!
Provocative and challenging ideas, smart presenters, and an appreciative, enthusiastic audience who soaked everything up.
Kumi Naidoo, the former head of Greenpeace, gave an inspirational, rabble-rousing keynote address that I will never forget. (more on that next week!)
If you have never been to the AFP International Conference, this is a must-do for next year, when the 2017 conference will be in San Francisco. "
