Amy and Andrea share three critical tips to ensure a successful quiet phase: 1️⃣ Identify the right donors – Focus on your biggest potential givers and those closest to your organization, such as board members. 2️⃣ Be patient and strategic – Work through solicitations methodically, starting with top donors before moving down the list. 3️⃣ Stay organized – Track conversations, proposals, and donor progress to keep everything moving smoothly.
