2. You’re about to say something important.
Maybe it’s a fundraising appeal, maybe it’s a
speech, or maybe it’s a donor
acknowledgment. Before sending that
message or opening your mouth, run through
these eight questions to make sure your
message will speak to your audience and
inspire action.

3.  Does it make the receiver of your message feel seen
and heard at the outset?
 Does it feel like it’s about you or the person you’re
addressing? If it’s all about you, change it.
 Does it emotionally connect from word one?
 Does it contain something of value to the audience?

4. Does it ask for a clear, simple action?
Does it contain one amazing story?
Does it invite conversation?
Does it thank the person for listening?

5. No?
Try to make it
better.
