Brian Saber, president of Asking Matters, has spent his career asking for donations on behalf of nonprofits.
Now he’s really done it with a cool online test that helps you determine your asking style so you can improve upon it by focusing on your strengths to close more gifts.
Try it out here.
P.S. – In case you’re wondering how I did… I am a “kindred spirit” (according to the test).

Phenomenal tool, Greg! Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I’m primarily a Go-Getter and secondarily a Kindred Spirit. The suggestions for improvement are spot on!
I got Mission Controller followed by Rainmaker! When given a mission l will always see it through to completion
By my calculations then, Sharon if we partnered up, we’d close everyone!
Go-Getter followed by Kindred Spirit – – – I love stories woven together in a mythology (backed up by the data from my analytic friends, of course)
Can’t wait to use this with some of current clients’ development staff. And the tips were icing!
