Introducing
"From a First-Time Six-Figure Closer"
“I used to get stuck in meetings—great conversations, but no clear ask. Then I used Mary’s 'You’re the Missing Piece' script with a longtime donor and... boom. She said yes to $150,000 before I even finished my sentence. I’d been overcomplicating it. This guide gave me the clarity and confidence I needed.” — Jamie K., Director of Development
"This veteran fundraiser landed a huge "Yes""
“I’ve been fundraising for 18 years, and this was the first time I felt like the ask truly matched the donor. I used the ‘Legacy Ask’ with a longtime supporter and not only did we secure a $1 million planned gift—he said it was one of the most meaningful conversations he’s had in years. This guide is a game-changer.” — Carlos D., Major Gift Officer
"I was a reluctant asker, now I'm confident."
“Before this, I was nervous about asking for big gifts. But I used the 'Storytelling Ask' from the guide, and it felt like magic. I told a real story, followed the script, and landed a $75,000 gift. Mary doesn’t just teach strategy—she teaches connection.” — Renee L., Executive Director
"I don't feel like a baby fundraiser any more!"
“I brought the ‘Matching Gift Ask’ to a foundation meeting, and they said yes to a $250,000 match on the spot. I looked like a total pro—and honestly, I owe that to this guide. The language is so clean and compelling. I won’t go into another ask without it.” — Jonah B., Corporate and Foundation Relations Officer
