Building a community of support around your ministry includes both businesses and nonprofit organizations. Many share your mission—while others admire your mission and want to support it. The business community can be valuable resource to grow your ministry’s influence, impact, and income.
Business Decisions Differ From Donor Decisions
Business leaders may include major donors—but they often employ an entirely different decision path for business support. Some major donors become offended with other business partners’ involvement so a thriving business support process relies on smart planning. iEncourager makes your business development program good for donors, listeners, business partners and your organization.
Appealing to business partners who are a good fit takes defining—especially if your organization has a business development representative with a high-performance sales background. Both the business partner and the representative need definitions on how you acknowledge business support and what you make available for business support. It sounds simple but can be relationally challenging. That’s where iEncourager excels.
