urgency • Not PANIC- but creating a sense that time is running out and EVERYONE needs to help. • Creating a culture in the campaign • Holding call time sacred and patting the candidate on the back for doing it.
Collect, Re-solicit, collect • The person most likely to give you money is the person who already has. • Some %, of the money pledged will never come but chased correctly, most of it will be delivered • Entire donor base re-solicited.
