Tip of the Week
People have a choice, and thankfull so. Having choices -- options -- makes you feel in charge. So when you look to recruit volunteers use this knowledge and give them a choice. They can either:
volunteer for your cause in some way (to be on a committee, raise money, ask for donations, help with sponsorships) ORIf they wish to do the so-called "passing of the buck" they can give you names of people they know who could volunteer to be on committees, donate items or services, or just give you names and contact info. for people they know who seem to know a lot of other people. If you get through your friends, neighbors, co-workers, family, etc. and they didn't volunteer and you have no more warm leads to contact then you're in trouble. So if they say, "Thanks for thinking of me. I'm going to pass at this time," then say, "Oh, I definitely understand! Can you give me five names of people you know, maybe from work, church, or other friends I can talk too? I need to get my committee finalized this week!"
