Virtual asks are here to stay.

Making a compelling ask and closing a solicitation is a critical part of our work. Focused exclusively on the intricacies of making an effective ask, this discussion will includes:
• Creating a cultivation process that naturally builds to a solicitation,
• Using a proposal or white paper during your solicitation process: pros and cons,
• Creating a conducive environment for a successful ask, and
• Building a sense of urgency that facilitates closure.
