50. How to Conquer The Ask: Five Key Steps of Solicitation - Lindsay Simonds

Meet Lindsay. She knows what we're all thinking: sometimes mustering up the courage to make “the ask” can be intimidating. She gets it, because she's been there in past roles, including serving as a VP at a leading global fundraising and management firm. She'll talk us through the 5 Steps to Mastering the Ask, high value relationships & give us some tips to pivot if the solicitation takes an unexpected turn. If you've ever stressed about an ask at any level - this episode is your jam.
