| Donor information |
| What do you need to know? |
Here's what I think you should know about me, your donor:
-- My interests and disinterests; my likes and dislikes
-- The emotional triggers that work best with me...and illustrations of this gathered from talking with me
-- Stories I tell
-- Metaphors I use
-- Questions that I ask you
-- Answers to questions that you've asked me
Look at these questions to ask donors. Think about the top 7 emotional triggers identified by the direct marketing industry: anger, fear, greed, guilt, flattery, exclusivity, and salvation. If you want a significant gift from a donor, collect good info.

Do you get this? Only 17% of those elected to the U.S. Congress are women. Only 1/4 of the state legislators are women. Only 6 of 50 governors are women. And only 7 women are mayors of the nation's 100 largest cities.
