April 12, 2021 #051 Sales Vs. Major Gifts Round 2 with Jake Savage
What can fundraising professionals learn from sales?

I think A LOT! So does this week's guest, Jake Savage.

Jake discovered his passion for persuasive communication in 2007 when he got a job as a door to door sales rep. Since then, he’s knocked on nearly 100,000 doors, he’s sold millions of dollars worth of products, and he’s led his own sales team to the INC 500 list of fastest growing companies in America - twice. Today, he hosts the podcast, Persuasion School, and he has his own consulting firm teaching anti-trafficking nonprofit fundraising teams how to win bigger donations.
