Belief comes before the gift. It is built in the years before anyone is ever asked. The organizations winning at monthly giving are not the ones with the biggest budgets. They are the ones that became believers first.
In this keynote, Dana shows your audience how to call in believers instead of chasing donors, with a framework they can use Monday morning and a challenge to think ten times bigger than their current goal.
Belief, once you learn to build it, is irresistible.
