Rosemary Higgs (rosemary.higgs@navy.mil) is your Special Events Coordinator • Use group meetings & the Speaker’s Bureau • Stress payroll deduction • Sponsor special events (all money collected during a special event goes to undesignated) • Don’t take objections personally • Never coerce or strong-arm • Say “Thank You”

  20. How to HandleTypical Objections • Remember…it’s not personal. • It might not be real —Some objections are “stalls” rather than sincere objections. Try to find the real cause behind the concern. Often it has stemmed from a misunderstanding about CFC. • Be sympathetic—Listen carefully! If your prospective donor says “my boss MADE me donate last time.” Explain that the CFC is designed around volunteer donations only. • Don’t argue—Arguing will force your prospective donor to defend their objection on the spot. You may win the argument but lose the contribution.

  21. How to HandleTypical Objections • Encourage him/her to ask questions—Let your prospective donor expand upon their concern and then address the situation. • Remember: If a question arises that you cannot answer, call your department representative or PCFO. A prospective donor will appreciate you taking the time to find the answer and get back with them. • Use brochures as a resource. • Feel confident assuring the donor that “This is a Great System.” • Be enthusiastic—it will rub off.
