Multiple Stakeholders: Another benefi Great Fundraising Ideas Reap Great Rewards If you haven’t caught the latest buzz, it’s all about The Secret. I believe this is going to be BIG. A friend recommended it to me last month, so I picked up a copy of the DVD. If you haven’t seen it, it’s about manifesting your goals through the universal Law of Attraction. Summed up in a few words, it says what we think about is what we attract. Think good things, good things come. Think negative, and you’ll get more of the same. Of course, there’s a lot more to it than that. But what I want to highlight is not the content of The Secret, but rather the marketing secrets that will make it such a smashing success. We can apply some of these same techniques to our own business.Many organizations end up looking for fundraising ideas because these organizations do not receive all of the money that they need for a great organization.

We can apply some of these same techniques to our own business.This article borrows from Howard Gardner’s book, “Changing Minds” (2004). In order to get people in conflict to cooperate or collaborate sufficiently to settle or resolve their differences, and perhaps achieve reconciliation, it is necessary that they change their minds. The reason they are in dispute is because they are of two different minds about a particular thing, which is what they are fighting over. People do not change their minds easily. Some people are 1.

Is there an expert in your field that can create a testimonial for your business?At times, our own experience and media reports suggest to many of us that leaders fail. My view is somewhat different. It is that people in a position of power will always provide a lead for others to follow.

Multiple Stakeholders: Another benefit of having multiple participants is that it creates leverage. If you work solo you can only generate a finite amount of sales momentum. After all, you’re just one person. Having multiple stakeholders means that each of these players can leverage their networks and sales contacts to create even more momentum. Can you “partner” with a synergistic business for added momentum and access to a larger network? 6. Believe It: The speakers clearly believe in what they’re promoting. There’s passion in their words. And passion is contagious. The presenters noted how they continually apply the secret. Are you passionate enough about your product to use it yourself and to shamelessly tout its benefits? 7. Stories: Storytelling is perhaps THE most compelling form of communication. People are captivated and can be motivated through the use of great storytelling. In The Secret, the presenters share numerous success stories. It’s proof that the concept works. What story can you share that proves your product or service really works? There are many more reasons why the success of The Secret will continue to grow. And, there are many more examples of successful marketing campaigns out there. My challenge to you is to keep your eyes open for successful marketing campaigns, whether it’s in your own field or a totally unrelated industry. And, adapt those elements that make sense for your business.
