Episode 8: The Ask

In this episode, we roleplay a meeting with a potential partner so that you can hear exactly how to give a professional and heartfelt presentation. Each episode builds on the one before it, so make sure to listen to the previous episodes first. We explain exactly how to ask people for a specific amount to join your monthly partnership team. We even cover how to text potential partners to set up these meetings. Also discussed is how to respond well to the different responses you will receive and how important follow-up is. Finally, we cover how to take good care of our partners by keeping in touch, thanking them well, and updating them adequately.
