The document summarizes presentations from a nonprofit conference panel on how organizations listen to and engage with donors. It discusses strategies from Operation Smile and the American Cancer Society. Operation Smile tracks donor interactions, implements a "donor first" philosophy, and conducts retention calls. It also discusses thanking donors appropriately based on donation amount. The American Cancer Society discusses moving from being society-centric to constituent-centric by enhancing the constituent experience and providing choice. Both nonprofits emphasize using donor feedback to improve services and engagement.

- 32. 2009 Annual Washington Nonprofit Conference2009 Annual Washington Nonprofit Conference Agent Feedback and Recognition Bruce, I would like to take a moment of your time to thank you for the excellent customer service I have been receiving from Margo. Over the course of this year I have had many horrifying experiences with customer service departments from many different companies. Working with Margo has been such a breath of fresh air for me. She has been so helpful and enjoyable to work with during what could have been a much worse situation. Margo and I are still working on resolving some issues with another company and I am glad she is my agent! Thanks again!

- 35. 2009 Annual Washington Nonprofit Conference2009 Annual Washington Nonprofit Conference Customer Service Suggestion Box – Allows CS agents to pass along direct feedback from customers once their call has ended – Allows CS agents to ask questions, make suggestions or express concern anonymously
- 36. 2009 Annual Washington Nonprofit Conference2009 Annual Washington Nonprofit Conference Suggestion Box example: In Customer Service we received a lot of calls regarding Advanced Guest forms. Each of us seems to have a different level of knowledge about each of the different cruise line forms. I've learned the quirks of some of them, realized that others could benefit from perhaps more hands on to each of them. Some of my coworkers may never have cruised or prefer to leave the passengers to do their own. It would help us and the passengers if we all had some working knowledge of each one. Perhaps a study?
- 37. 2009 Annual Washington Nonprofit Conference2009 Annual Washington Nonprofit Conference Recommendations: If you are going to collect feedback from customers, use it! – Take action on negative items – Share positive responses with those involved and with management Use customer feedback in methods that are visible to the customer – Contact customers regarding negative replies – Post reviews, customer comments, etc. Consider both external and internal customers – Internal customers’ (coworkers, employees, etc) feedback can help the organization learn and grow as well

- DMANF Presentation – Breaking through the Noise Part II January 2009 Operation Smile Case Study – Jann Schultz, Director of Donor Relations REQUIRED PREP: RED and GREEN ½ sheets of paper, 1 of each on each chair. To be used in the first activity.
- OK, we are going to do a bit of MYTHBUSTING today… you are going to vote on whether the following are MYTH or FACT. <Ask participants to respond to the following questions use GREEN (FACT-TRUE) or RED (MYTH-FALSE) colored sheets of paper: First a couple of practice ones for you…since I’m from Virginia Beach, here is one for you – You are more likely to be struck by lightening than to be attacked by a shark. True or False? TRUE - According to the National Weather Service, the odds of being struck by lightning in the United States in any given year are 1 in 700,000. By contrast the odds of being attacked by a shark in the United States are roughly 1 in 8 million. How many of you brought your lap top to the conference? Here is one for you… In 1977, the CEO of a major computer company said, "There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in his home." True or False? TRUE - Ken Olsen, co-founder and CEO of Digital Equipment Corporation, did indeed utter those words at a 1977 meeting of the World Future Society. OK, here is a myth that may be a bit closer to our work… 47% of consumers in the US say they have switched service providers in the past year due to poor customer service. True or False? FALSE – The actual number is 73, yes - 73% of Americans surveyed changed due to service - compared to 47% who switched due to lower prices. Consumers are more demanding year over year. True or False? TRUE – nearly one third said their service expectations were higher than they were just one year ago. Most consumers said technology has improved customer service. True or False? FALSE – less than half of consumers in mature markets believe that technology has improved customer service. So – what does this mean for us? <go to next slide>
- FACT: There are approximately 1.4 million non-profit organizations registered with the IRS. FACT: With so much choice, if you are not providing exceptional service and ways for your donors to break through the noise…you will lose them. You must be developing strategies and implementing methods so that you can hear your donors through the day to day background noise! Listen to what they have to say and take action. Listen or lose them. What I want to share with you today are the strategies we have implemented at Operation Smile to hear our donors and what we have learned from the interactions we have with our donors. These may be obvious– and my apologies in advance if this is simplistic to you. The bottom line is, this isn’t rocket science. In the face of our economy and struggles – we have to go back to the basics. My goal is to provide you with some takeaways that you can use when your return to your job on Monday.
- To better communicate with our donors, we had to re-design an existing service team, a small internal call center. We re-purposed them into a full service Donor Relations Team – staffing up from 2.5 members to 5 – one supervisor and 4 team members. They have been given clarity as to their role – you see their purpose here - and they have been given the tools, training and flexibility to achieve their success metrics. In addition to training on relationship fundraising and customer service skills, the team has been fully trained and utilizes our donor database, the Raisers Edge. This allows us to capture the voice of the donor and report back on specific requests, trends and results.
- You must define your expectation for exceptional customer service. For Operation Smile, we have utilized the Operation Smile Donor First Philosophy. It is our way of turning background noise into individual donor voices that we can understand, respond to, and cultivate.
- A tangible way of measuring the voice of the donor at Operation Smile is the number of ACTION Notes entered into our donor database – The Raisers Edge. Each one of these reflects an interaction with a donor - both inbound and outbound contact. You must establish STANDARD procedures for success – we have the expectation that each and every interaction with a donor is documented, so those voices, that history, is available to our fundraising team. This is just one basic way we provide exceptional customer service.
- When analysis is done on these numbers, here are what our donors are saying when they contact us… The 23% Customer Service Requests include phone calls and correspondence. The team responded to more than 2400 donors who contacted us with comment mail on our Direct Mail or correspondence to HQ. The majority of these are simply thanking us for our mission – and we respond to everyone one of those by hand, or the second most common is asking for more information – often clarification on financials (sound familiar?!), followed by requests for more photos of children, or having more information to share with friends. 8% of our contacts have to do with new donations or information on donation status. We love these donors! 6% of these contacts are calling to request a change to their mailing status. We have noted 741 who have requested that we “Do Not Mail” – this includes the DMA requests that we download monthly. But what I find fascinating..is we had 222 donors call to alert us of their address change – making sure they continue to receive our mailings! WE LOVE THESE DONORS! 6% of our donors are interested in helping Operation Smile with grassroots fundraising efforts.
- Our donors want to help – and 6% of our callers are seeking ways to support Operation Smile, beyond donating themselves. We have created a fundraising guide, with step by step instructions and chock full of ideas and other donor success stories. Materials are customizable, and sent via email in PDF form. We stress emailing for the donor to print to help us save money and serve more children. ASK: Please raise your GREEN sheet, if you offering the ability to customize materials for donors? <identify a “yes” response.> What do you offer to your donors? Some of our customizable In Lieu of Birthday Gift Cards for adults and children In Lieu of Wedding Gift, or Baby Shower Gift Cards Donation forms – specialized for the event Student/school based fund raising ideas & How-to Operation Smile “SMILE SHEETS” one-sheet fundraising “how-to’s” Lemonade Stand fun sheet Make-over night fun sheet Movie night fun sheet Moms babysitting club fun sheet Customizable donation forms (must include a code and be higher dollar earning potential) Tribute or Honor Donation Sheet; i.e. Reema’s Smile a fundraising effort in honor of a VaTech shooting victim; this should be used when the fund raising effort is to honor a specific person. Spread the Word/Spread The Smiles program where donors are engaged in spreading the word as an advocate for Operation Smile
- ASK: Please raise your GREEN sheet, if you offering the ability to customize materials for donors? <identify a “yes” response.> What do you offer to your donors? Some of our customizable In Lieu of Birthday Gift Cards for adults and children In Lieu of Wedding Gift, or Baby Shower Gift Cards Donation forms – specialized for the event, coded for tracking purposes. Operation Smile “SMILE SHEETS” single-sheet fundraising “how-to’s” such as - Lemonade Stand for kids, Make-over night for teenagers, Movie night “in” for youth groups and even a Moms babysitting club Spread the Word/Spread The Smiles program where donors are engaged in spreading the word as an advocate for Operation Smile
- The development team has fully implemented a successful strategy for thanking donors personally, if they have made a donation of single cleft lip surgery, $240, or higher. Across the team, more than 4500 calls were made to our donors to thank them for helping us transform the lives of children. Now making calls to DRTV pledgers – will be tracking response to see if call within 1 week of giving improves fulfillment rate.
- Thank You Strategy Multiple Touch Points
- Thank A Thon Donors who fall outside the TY Strategy Entire HQ staff Calling donors to thank Positive feedback from staff – will implement quarterly
- Retention of cancelling donors Offering other ways to remain engaged with Operation Smile
- Offering ways to remain engaged with Operation Smile, being sensitive to donors desire to help and current financial situation.
- TEST programs that provide a return on relationship – not necessarily a high short term ROI. EOY Online Tax Receipts - test 94% Positive Response last year, generated additional $20K in revenue With new web platform, created our own internal program to provide this service and expand to donors who have not given us their e-mail
