New Tool Helps Determine Your Asking Style So You Close More Gifts
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!
