Your discovery calls shouldn’t feel like a test.
In my latest Intentional Fundraiser episode, I walk through how I help fundraisers turn tense, scripted discovery calls into relaxed, donor-centered conversations that still move major gifts forward.
We unpack a simple four part framework, real examples of questions that open people up, and a practical way to use AI so you can listen more and type less.
What would change in your portfolio if every discovery call felt like a conversation you were both glad you had?
Listen to this episode of “Discovery That Builds Trust, Not Pressure,” and share it with a colleague, your team, or your board.
