Too often, training of student callers is a one-time investment. Following an initial training session, callers are put to work, and often don't have the opportunity to debrief, share tips and practices, and develop their telefundraising skills. In this 41-page monograph, Albert Melfo, director of annual giving at Kent State University, offers a structured approach to training callers to respond on the fly to the ebb and flow of their telephone conversations with your prospects. What makes this approach unique is the focus on call center scripting as a key tool for training callers. From this paper, you'll learn: -- Essential techniques for training and scripting the five stages of an effective call (Introduction, Engagement, Case for Giving, Negotiation, and Formal Close). -- Tried and true methods to coach your callers to respond to prospect concerns and objections that prevent your students from effectively negotiation and closing gifts. In addition to practical tips, the paper also provides useable examples of effective dialogue and excerpts from sample scripts. We hope that this paper will aid you in training and coaching more effective callers, writing more effective scripts, and taking your annual giving phone center to the next level of success.]]>
