Quotes from Satisfied Clients
“I bless you every day.
The Director of Development you found for us is wonderful. I am so appreciative
of your assessing our needs so well and steering us to make the right choice.
Just her presence here is making an enormous difference. She’s organized,
prioritizes well and is learning about us quickly. And she’s fun, to boot. So
thank you!”
Executive Director, Advocacy Client
“I
must compliment you on the beautiful job you did with the corporate fundraising
package…it is well done and should elicit support from many companies. The piece
is quite handsome and, in my opinion, a very effective way to communicate your
objectives to companies all over the country.”
Corporate Donor to an Environmental Client
“Thank you for yet another task undertaken, completed and presented with
precision, focus, acute analysis and achievable recommendations…There really is
a ‘science’ to marketing, and one cannot successfully perform the ‘art’ of
marketing without the key data you have so thoroughly presented.”
Director of Marketing, Cultural Client
“We
wanted to phone you first, before the release of our press release announcing a
one million dollar gift from a lead donor as the kick off to our endowment
campaign. This gift is a direct result of our work with you, and we wanted to
thank you again for setting us on the path toward gifts of this magnitude.”
General Manager and Development Director, Public Broadcasting Client
“What a difference two days makes! I will never look at our gallery walls, our
publications or any magazine including our own in the same way again. What a
neat pair of eyes you have…thank you for helping us see things so differently.”
Executive Director, Cultural Client
“I
heard nothing but rave reviews from the fundraisers with whom you worked, who
found your counsel to be very helpful. I was impressed with the perceptive
comments you shared with us at the close. I very much enjoyed planning these
sessions with you and felt that you listened to my ideas and incorporated these
into the final proposal. This training really met our specific needs. Thank
you!”
National Fundraising Director, Advocacy Client
“For
us, you have been constructive, creative and receptive plus you have provided
invaluable benefit as a source of inspiration. Moreover, your role as an
objective sounding board for our ideas and proposals has helped us craft ever
more refined and fruitful fundraising. Simply put, we could not have achieved
our current level of success—award-winning, record-setting success—without your
advice and counsel.”
General Manager, Public Broadcasting Client
“I
attribute more than $1.5 million in new gifts over the past 4 months directly to
your ‘Endow’ package for us. It bridges splendidly our work in Annual Giving,
underwriting and Planned Giving, just as prospects need to understand them. It’s
a ‘talking’ piece: people are immediately intrigued by it and want to talk about
the programs. It really breaks the ice and makes our job easier. Many, many
thanks.”
National Director of Major and Planned Gifts, Advocacy Client
“In
the past couple of weeks, I completed the cultivation and solicitation process
with two donors: one made a gift of $30,000 and the other a gift of $100,000. I
have thought about and used often the training and advice you provided. Thank
you—the work you do has a lasting impact that can probably never be adequately
measured.”
General Manager, Public Broadcasting Client
“Your analysis of our situation and your advice on how to proceed were extremely
helpful. You gave us the objective perspective we needed and couldn’t grasp
while we were so busy in the trenches. And you gave us the encouragement to set
our sights somewhat higher. Thank you.”
Director of Development, Education Client
“Your personable but no
nonsense presentation got quickly to the heart of the matter, and your ability
to ‘size-up’ an organization's strengths and weaknesses was impressive. …Your
individual ‘counseling’ sessions with our team proved to be a valuable
experience for both new and seasoned staff. We got our money's worth.”
Major Gifts Fundraiser, Advocacy Client
“Thanks once again for your talk last week. I wasn’t sure what to expect and was
so pleasantly surprised by the thoroughness, the insights and the passion of
your presentation. Your commitment to helping us be better marketers certainly
shined brightly.”
Marketing Director, Cultural Service Organization
“You
have been indispensable in helping us launch a successful major donor program.
You’ve helped our team evaluate our readiness, set ambitious but realistic
goals, and then worked with us to implement the program each step of the way.
Your expertise and thoroughness are great assets. You really took the time to
understand our business and our relationship with donors, and crafted a strategy
that worked best for us. We have seen a significant increase in both the number
of our higher-level donors and their amount of giving after just one year as a
client - and that's despite a difficult economy.”
General Manager, Public Broadcasting Client
“Working with you has
been a delight. I've felt that your explanations have been clear and your
presence friendly and encouraging. However, getting the staff to work on long
range planning has been like trying to get cats to walk single file.”
Administrator, Cultural Client
“I
thought you’d like to see the attached draft of our Department’s page in the
Museum’s Annual Report, where we cite our project with you as an item of
particular interest this year. I’ll be sending you copies of the final published
Annual Report, and we’ll be talking with you soon about our additional campaign
needs.”
Marketing Director, Cultural Client
“I thought you’d like to know about the
National Endowment’s interest in the research you performed for us, in
preparation for our national campaign. Attached is a copy of my letter,
providing a copy of your report for their review. Another advocacy organization
is also using the findings in developing a similar campaign. Thanks again!”
Development Director, Cultural Client
“You worked with me around 10 years ago
now—I hope you remember. I just saw your name on a website and thought I’d send
you a quick note. I’m now a Director of Development here at the University for
one of the schools, and I just wanted to thank you for a great learning
experience. That time spent with you so long ago really set me on the right
track. Thank you.”
Junior Staff Member, Cultural Client
“I
want to express my appreciation for your excellent report. Despite my tardiness
in sending thanks, I am feeling most grateful for your perspicacity, balance,
collegiality, experienced hand and wisdom.”
Director of Development, Cultural Client
“When we have meetings
on our own, we seem to get stuck on the day to day. When we have meetings that
you facilitate, you set us on a broader discussion and somehow keep us focused
on the bigger picture. We don’t get stuck, and we get far more accomplished.”
Administrator, Cultural Client
“I don’t know what you
did to my staff yesterday in your training session, but I have never seen three
people come back to their desks so enthusiastic and bursting with ideas. I
wanted to take a moment to call you and tell you the enormous impact on our
department that your training has had today. Thank you.”
Senior Development Director, Cultural Client
“We were lucky enough to work with you
first through a funder-sponsored initiative. It went so well, and you were so
terrific, we brought you back to consult with us regarding a capital campaign.
Again, you demonstrated superior fundraising knowledge and, most importantly,
imparted it with wisdom and a sense of humor that made the experience both
successful and highly enjoyable.”
Director of Development, Public Broadcasting Client
