Event Information
Many ministry leaders approach champion meetings focused on presenting their case; however, major givers consistently share that the meetings they remember—and respond to—aren't the ones with the best presentations. They're meetings where the leader asked questions that honor the giver’s story, convictions, and partnership in the cause, not just the amount of their giving.
On Wednesday, February 18, at 11:00 AM PT, you'll hear directly from generous givers about the conversations that made them feel genuinely known, deeply valued, and eager to partner more significantly. You'll also learn which questions unintentionally signal that you're more interested in their wallet than their heart.
Featuring candid insights from generous givers, you’ll learn:
- The questions that signal "I want to know YOU, not just your capacity"
- How the right questions transform a meeting from transaction to ministry
- Key questions major givers often ask that you need to be prepared to answer
- How great questions lead to greater generosity—and deeper partnership
This one-hour webinar supplements Mission Increase's Q1 curriculum on Making the Invitation.
