Comments: Negotiating and staying in contact

Title

Negotiating and staying in contact 

Body

We are staying in touch with our donors like never before. This is good for me as a recent hire in Devo, I am meeting people much faster. Calling them and making sure they can come to the plays. And negotiating with our events vendors, trading, bartering, whatever we can think of. I had a donor the other day from the financial industry say "after being in interviews all day with the BBC, NPR, New York Times, I would LOVE to come to a play." That said we're seeing few people increase, few decreases, everyone treading water and seeing what happens. Some donors just want to talk, so I let them talk it out. I'm on the phone a lot.
