Last week I shared an article on Twitter and added that if enough of you showed interest in the research - by clicking on the link! - I would explain how it changed my thinking on using Twitter for partnership prospecting. The article had nearly 60 "clicks" and was the fourth most popular link in my newsletter last week. So here's my explanation! Let me begin by saying that Twitter is a vastly underused tool for prospecting.

Stop us if you’ve heard this one before: A new technology walks into an organization and says, “I’m here to solve all your problems!” Yup, you have. We get it, the last generation of digital tech, particularly email and social media, created a cacophony of messages and amplified the always-on, toxic work culture. You have every right to be furious at whoever created the “reply all” button.

Ahead of Thursday’s BRAND NEW webinar on Social Media Trends for Nonprofit Communicators in 2022 , I did some research on “best practices” for how often your nonprofit should communicate on social media.

A newsletter can be a great way to engage with your donors. Unfortunately, that doesn’t often happen because most donor newsletters can put you right to sleep. They’re too long and filled with boring articles that brag about how wonderful the organization is. The good news is you can create an engaging newsletter your donors will want to read. Here’s what you need to do.

Elon Musk's buyout of Twitter will be bad news for the platform and the world. This is too bad because you all know how much I like, use, and recommend Twitter. Like you, I would also like to see a better world. With the election in 2016 with the pandemic in 2020 I said the same thing: "It won't be so bad." No more pollyanna for me.

During November 2021 alone 4.5 million people quit their jobs —the highest number on record. The pandemic work experience encouraged many employees to draw a line in the sand between what’s important (family, flexibility, and free time) and what’s not (toxic work cultures that lead to exhaustion, mistakes and ultimately burnout.) Black, Indigenous and people of color (BIPOC) have particularly felt the strain of office life with 97 percent wanting a hybrid or full-time remote working model (compa

Employee recognition has often been deemed a "feel-good" initiative, tied closely to rewards. While we understand its importance, we tend to associate recognition with intangible outcomes like engagement and sentiment, rather than direct impacts on retention and high performance. In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.

Two years of pandemic fundraising have made online fundraising mainstream for most nonprofits. Online fundraising makes it simpler for your donors to give and easier for them to make recurring donations to support your mission. It also allows you to reach a greater number of supporters. As you take advantage of new opportunities to use online fundraising to grow and engage your donor community, make sure that you know what you need to know to be compliant. .

I got two great questions last week. ???? Regarding my post on case studies , several readers asked: "Should I put my case studies on my web site?" Yes! Last week, I pointed out that case studies help mostly in the middle and at the bottom of the sales funnel. However, when you post them on your web site they are now helping at the top of the funnel (i.e. the awareness stage) because the case studies are discoverable via Google search and by web site visitors.

I first talked about The Great Resignation back in September of 2021, but it’s apparently still going strong. Federal data released March 29th shows that 4.4 million people quit in February 2022 compared to 3.4 million in February of 2021. And according to a survey by Willis Towers Watson , 53% of US employees are open to leaving their current jobs with 44% actively looking for new places to work.

If you’re trying to raise money but all you’re hearing is crickets, you may need to work on your message for fundraising. When it comes to convincing people to give, your message is everything. It’s how you explain to a potential donor who your organization helps, what problem you are working to solve, and how your organization is changing lives. And you have to explain it all in a way that inspires people to give you money.

These days I'm writing a lot of case studies for partnership teams that are eager to use "social proof" to recruit more corporate partners. It's a wicked smahht strategy. Again and again, case studies come up as the #1 way to engage prospects - especially in the middle (evaluation) and at the bottom (conversion) stages of the sales (aka partnership) funnel.

A major motivator for generous giving to nonprofit organizations is contributing to a solution and changing something for the better. According to the Fidelity Charitable Overcoming Barriers to Giving Report, 65% of donors would give more if they knew the impact of their donations. After all, there is nothing more disappointing than contributing hard-earned money to what looks like a good cause, and then having absolutely no idea whether it made any difference.

The world of work has fundamentally changed.
