Your tech stack will need to evolve and expand, making having one record for all your solutions impossible.

From day one I vividly understood that most people rank asking someone they know, face-to-face, for a nonprofit gift on par with a root canal or a colorectal exam. Even business and community leaders who are virtually fearless in everything else they face in their personal, professional, and civic lives are terrified of asking for gifts. After leading more than 200 workshops and webinars I’ve come face-to-face with these fears, and developed pragmatic ways to overcome them.
