Start here ### The story already in their head Your donors connect the dots from your last few touches and tell themselves a story about you. Learn to read those touches the way a stranger would. The hero ### Your organization is the guide The hero is the person your mission serves. The donor comes alongside the guide. A quick test for every sentence in your appeal. The stories ### The stories you already have What’s happening, the need, the idea and the success story. Where they come from, how to capture one in 30 seconds and build a story library. Everywhere ### Tell it more than once People act when a story reaches them again from someone they trust. A channel map plus a week-by-week planner from November 1 to December 31. Segments ### Who needs to hear something different How one year-end plan split its list, the two rules it followed, and a worksheet for the sentence each group needs to hear. Multiply it ### Start with the story, then multiply it Human-sourced, AI-multiplied, human-gated. What goes in your mission brain, and where AI does not belong. From Colleen & Scott ## The stories are already there. Place the person you serve as the hero of those stories, share them in more places, and let AI multiply your efforts.
