Stop Googling 'fundraising emails' 100 times. Upload a Skill Once!

With so much uncertainty, I wanted to find a way to add value to you, non-profit leaders. I figured I'd create these Weekly Emails I call Monday Motivational Minute because Mondays are historically the roughest days, and a minute . . . well because you're very busy people. In these, I'll add creative, quick, actionable takeaways for you to try (All in a minute read). No pressure, no need to respond, read at your leisure or unsubscribe if it doesn't add value.(Challenge Accepted ☺️)

Happy Matrix Monday?!?

…NEO: "I know Kung Fu."

MORPHEUS: "Show me!"…

Cue that incredible Matrix fight scene... What if that wasn't science fiction, but a documentary of your organization's future? Stay with me here...

You waste valuable time you don't have, rewritting the same appeal 12 times, while second-guessing every subject line, and still wondered why donors don’t reply. It sucks! But It’s not your fault, it’s the lack of a specific expertise.

Imagine uploading expert skills to AI and using them whenever you want.

• Expert persuasive email writing? Uploaded.

• Winning grant writing techniques? Uploaded.

• Donor prospecting strategies specific to YOUR organization? UPLOADED.

Are you salivating more than a starving dog watching someone cut into a sizzling ribeye fresh off the grill? Thought so.

ClaudeAI (Only with Claude for now) just figured out how to let you create and upload custom skills. This is game changer!

Fine, fine, don't twist my arm.....let's build one together right now.

Let's create a "Donor Psychology Expert Skill"

The ability to instantly read a donor's giving motivations, preferred communication style, ask timing, and relationship needs; just by answering a few questions about them.

Actionable Task: Build your first AI skill in 10 minutes:

1. Step 1: Go to claude.ai and start a new conversation

2. Step 2: Copy-paste this prompt:

   "I want to create a custom skill called 'Donor Psychology Expert.' This skill should help me understand individual donors by asking me 5-7 strategic questions about them (giving history, communication preferences, life stage, values, past interactions). Then analyze their profile and provide:

   -Their primary giving motivation

   -Best communication approach

   -Optimal ask timing and amount

   -Relationship-building strategies

   Create this skill framework now and save it so I can use it repeatedly."

3. Step 3: Use this skill anytime you're strategizing about a specific donor by saying "Use my uploaded "Donor Psychology Expert Skill" to ..."

Remember: The leaders who win aren't the ones who know the most; they're the ones who leverage the most. Upload the expertise, apply it to your vision, and suddenly you're competing with people who spent lifetimes building what you accessed in minutes.

..... Fast forward ....

YOU: I have donor psychology skills....

REGIS: Show me !
