1+ y ago45:42

45:42

Volunteers are the fuel that keeps nonprofit organizations humming. Not discounting volunteers' hard work to serve nonprofits’ missions, volunteers and how they talk about their experiences working with their favorite organizations provide the thrust that brings an abundance of donations, interest, and other volunteers into the system. In short, wh…

EP 100: Improve Your Effectiveness with Data with Matt Ranta of Nimble Gravity 54:32

2y ago54:32

54:32

The idea of testing can stir up anxiety for many people. But what if testing was a fun, fruitful venture for your organization? In fact, to get the most out of your marketing, you need to be testing, measuring, making adjustments, and repeating this cycle infinitum to ensure you aren’t missing opportunities and are taking your message and its prese…

Ep 99: Reenergize Your Nonprofit to Survive and Thrive with Kristen Faith of The Nonprofit Makeover 57:37

2y ago57:37

57:37

All of us have a desire to be liked. And many of us hide our true selves from fear of rejection. We tailor our appearance, what we say, and what we talk about to try to curate a persona we believe will be more attractive to more people. This curation may create a likeable avatar, but it may exist through the exclusion of authenticity. And what migh…

1:01:07

Are you struggling with content marketing? In one sense, getting your message out to prospects has never been easier. A quick web search reveals dozens, if not hundreds, of content tools to help you quickly distribute your latest ideas via email, social media, your site, and nearly anywhere else you can think of. However, this ease of access has co…

Ep 97: Mission Alignment and How to Keep Creativity in the Ecosystem With Teague McDaniel from Creative Integration Initiative 51:41

2y ago51:41

51:41

There’s a saying in sales, “‘No’ is the second best answer you can hear.” There’s a certain power in “no” and getting to that “not interested” allows everyone to move forward and get on with their day. This holds true in the nonprofit world as well. Understanding one’s mission and selecting partners that are mission-aligned is vastly more impactful…

Ep 96: Your Numbers Tell a Story: Understanding nonprofit finances with Stephen King 52:35

2y ago52:35

52:35

Storytelling is a major component of any organization’s marketing. People love a good story, and effective storytelling can make the difference between gaining that new donor or falling short on your projections… again. More often than not, when looking for a compelling story, one overlooks a glaring opportunity in one’s organization. See, when tel…

Ep 95: Reframing Costs As Investments with Alex Romero 57:03

2y ago57:03

57:03

Particularly when one is a solopreneur, there’s a tendency to think of expenses as money coming out of one’s pocket instead of as an investment into one’s organization. It stems from adopting a scarcity mindset (rather than framing one’s experience from abundance) and also is seen quite a lot when one attaches oneself very closely to one’s occupati…

Ep 94: Reimagining the Elevator Pitch With Building Bridges 1:03:28

2y ago1:03:28

1:03:28

In the past, one’s “elevator pitch” lasted 30-60 seconds. There was a reasonable expectation that one could hold someone’s attention for that period of time during which a longer conversation could be created. These days, however, 30-60 seconds is an eternity. In the world of TikTok and SnapChat and Twitter, we now have roughly 7 seconds to capture…

Ep 93: Is Your Nonprofit Ready to Apply for Grants with Gauri Manglik 52:57

2y ago52:57

52:57

Going after grants seems like a no-brainer for most nonprofits. The allure of readily available money is certainly a draw – that can turn into a real distraction if you aren’t positioned well to win these opportunities. My guest today, Gauri Manglik, is a pro in the grant writing space. She is the CEO and Co-Founder of Instrumentl, a platform desig…

Ep 92: Help Is Always Available: You Don’t Have to Go It Alone with Mike Hess From The Blind Institute of Technology 55:27

2y ago55:27

55:27

One of the challenges most entrepreneurs create for themselves is an inability to ask for help. This can stem from fear of appearing weak, a desire for control, or a heightened sense of responsibility honed by years of “Gettin’ it done.” Regardless of the root cause, one thing is certainly true: You are not alone. Neither in your thinking that you …

Ep 91: Relationship-building on Social Media with Nick Black from Good United 39:46

2y ago39:46

39:46

Marketing is all about relationship-building. From selling a $0.25 widget to landing a multi-million dollar corporate sponsor, your ability to close business is only as strong as the relationships you build. People do business with people… and it’s becoming increasingly evident that people do even MORE business with people they like. That’s why any…

Ep 90: Framing your donations as investments with Greg Harrell Edge from Coachart 1:05:51

2y ago1:05:51

1:05:51

A small adjustment in the language you use can make a big impact on your outcomes. A lot of nonprofits, in fact, MOST nonprofits, talk about donations in terms of “gifts”. This tees up a certain dynamic – one with low expectations which can reduce the frequency and volume of said “gift”. My guest today is Greg Harrell-Edge, the Executive Director a…

Ep 89: Own Your Marketing With David Pisarek of Wow Digital 57:20

2y ago57:20

57:20

If there’s one takeaway from this week’s episode it’s that “your site is a member of your team.” And, like the other members of your team, your site needs to be nurtured in order for it to thrive and work as effectively as you would like. See, a lot of people think that having a website is enough. They tend to fall into the Field of Dreams fallacy.…

Ep 88: Getting Culture “Right” and Focusing on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in your Organization with Michael Rolph from New Sincerity 1:05:06

2+ y ago1:05:06

1:05:06

Aside from “pivot”, “culture” is a word that has been getting a bit of a workout in the business world over the last several years. There are SO many reasons why a focus on “culture” is a clutch move for any organization. We are seeing a big shift in how people engage with businesses and brands, and when one can lead with culture, there are a varie…

Ep 87: Aligning and Defining Your Company’s Culture with HR Strategist Otisa Eads 55:41

2+ y ago55:41

55:41

Building a team seems like a pretty straightforward endeavor. Figure out what you want people to “do” then get someone on board to accomplish that task, right? Turns out, there is a better way to approach the hiring process and it comes from “BEing” rather than “DOing”. And it really comes down to seeking cultural fit before task fit. It’s a bit of…

Ep 86: The power of purpose and leading with authenticity with Cheryl Farr and Cristina Ferreri from SignalCSK 56:09

2+ y ago56:09

56:09

At one point, having a purpose-focused organization was a bit of a differentiator. Lately, the term comes up a lot, and for those organizations that are truly leading with purpose and have a mission that drives their decisions and daily activities, kudos to you. At Relish Studio, we like working with people with a purpose for a variety of reasons. …

Ep 85: CRMs, the number one tool you need to grow the success of your nonprofit with Lidiane Mocko of CRM Growth Strategy 56:53

2+ y ago56:53

56:53

When asked, “What’s the best Customer Relationship Management Tool (CRM)?” I like to joke, “The best CRM is the one you will use.” And though this is mostly a pithy reply to a legitimate inquiry, in my experience just getting started and committed to using a CRM is one of the best actions one can take to get their sales humming. And yes, nonprofits…

Ep 84: Embracing the new future of virtual events to greatly increase your engagement, attendance, and donations with We and Goliath 55:20

Like it or not, we are still living in a world where virtual events continue to be a necessity. In order to accommodate the widest possible audience, getting your virtual events dialed is imperative to ensure that you enable optimum engagement. And what’s fortune is that we do live in an era where technology exists to make these types of events not…

Ep 83: Planning where you want to go with Sherry Quam Taylor from Quam Taylor Consulting 57:54

2+ y ago57:54

57:54

When thinking about planning, most of us start that exploration from the perspective of where we are today. Want to buy a new car? How much money do you make or have in the bank? Interested in taking an extended vacation? How much time have you accumulated in your PTO at work? But my guest today, Sherry Quam Taylor from Quam Taylor Consulting takes…

Ep 82: Budgets are essentially plans, in numbers - Strategic planning for nonprofits with Carol Hamilton 53:30

2+ y ago53:30

53:30

When you think of strategic planning, what comes to mind? Hours locked away in a conference room, working through scenarios and exercises that, in the end, will produce a document that feels ok at the time, but you know will rarely see the light of day once the session is complete? Or a valuable exercise that aligns your team, creates thrust for yo…

Ep 81: Who you need to BE to get things DONE with Sobia Zafar from the Taaleem Foundation 53:00

2+ y ago53:00

53:00

Setting big goals for your organization can be daunting. Are your plans and projections realistic? Are you reaching too far? Not far enough? Getting to that “sweet spot” of planning and projections feels comfortable. But, as we chatted about in last week’s episode, that’s not real commitment. Commitment happens when you land in the zone of uncertai…

Ep 80 How to leverage authenticity and passion to do good in the world with Steve Bacon from Belief Theory 58:15

2+ y ago58:15

58:15

My coach frames everything from the perspective of commitment. And if you think you understand commitment, let me tell you something, his definition (and getting committed to REAL commitment) could change your world. See, it’s easy to “commit” to things you know you can do. I can confidently sign on to say, throwing a football 20 yards. That’s not …

Ep 79 Advertisers vs. Sponsors vs. Partners – What’s Best for Your Organization? with Ken Unger from Charge 1:01:17

2+ y ago1:01:17

1:01:17

Partnerships can provide a much-needed boost to any organization’s outreach. They help secure funding for events, bring in a baked-in audience ready to engage, and can contribute in a variety of other ways to help your organization move closer to your goals. However, partnerships are a two-way street. This week’s Relish THIS I spoke with Ken Ungar,…

Ep 78 Help your organization thrive and survive with Mitch Stein, CEO of Pond 58:28

2+ y ago58:28

58:28

Two of the most common questions we get from nonprofit leaders are, “Do you know anyone who can help us with that?” and “Is there a tool or app we can use that will help streamline that for us?” Fortunately, the Founder and CEO of Pond, Mitch Stein and his team can help with both of these challenges. There are SO many tools and resources available …

Ep 77 Making your organization work for you with Simon Severino from Strategy Sprints 48:40

2+ y ago48:40

48:40

What if you could have your organization truly work for you? Many leaders dream of building an organization that can run without constant attention and input from the founders. One that has the right team in place and the right processes on line to thrive. One that allows every team member the opportunity to step away for a while with the confidenc…

Ep 76 Getting Inspirational - Build a better team through the power of leadership coaching with Chris Hutchinson 59:01

2+ y ago59:01

59:01

At the ripe, young age of 23, I found myself leading a team of creatives for one of the top three cycling catalog companies in the nation. Looking back at that time, I certainly could have used more experience in team management and motivation to get the most out of my team. Or at least some additional investment in myself to become a better leader…

Ep 75: Failing Fast for better results with Diana Zhang from Neighbor Share 1:01:29

2+ y ago1:01:29

1:01:29

Whether you're a seasoned nonprofit or just getting started, it's important to learn the concept of “failing fast.” Getting to a “no” quickly can help you achieve success and grow rather than limiting yourself and what you can do. On this week's Episode I spoke with Diana Zhang, CEO and Co-Founder of Neighbor Share, an organization that offers “mic…

Ep 74: Scale Your Organization Through Inspiring Your Stakeholders With Joe Sanders From Colorado Uplift 1:02:43

2+ y ago1:02:43

1:02:43

For most businesses and organizations, the quickest wins are found in the INSPIRE phase of the stakeholder lifecycle. In most situations, transforming customers and donors into repeat business is simply easier than selling to a whole new audience. After all, you’ve already put in the hard work nurturing these individuals through the ATTRACT, BOND, …

Ep 73: Reframing your story to your stakeholders perspective with Danny Combs from TACT 48:25

3y ago48:25

48:25

Messaging is a challenge for many organizations. From struggling with differentiation, to being too “us” focused, it’s flat-out difficult to nail your core message and engage stakeholders. Yet most nonprofits have a great story lurking in the haze. After all, what’s not to love about an inspirational mission? And even the newest nonprofits have suc…

The business world is changing. No longer can businesses continue to operate in using the old paradigm. Put your head down, shut up, and work harder no longer work as a motivators for your team.

EP 68: The Market Of Building Business Relationships On Amazon With Keith Hartnett 39:14

3y ago39:14

39:14

Marketing is all about relationship-building.

Have you ever considered how you "be" directly influences all that you "do"? It's an interesting concept – one that requires some serious brain yoga to wrap your head around. See, if you follow today's guest's approach, you have the capacity to create every moment in your life. How you show up in life (how you "be") influences everything. In this e…

EP 65: Mindset Shifts For Leaders - How To Stop Suffering With Jeff Kinsey 57:49

3y ago57:49

57:49

Nietzsche is quoted as saying, "To live is to suffer. To survive is to find some meaning in the suffering." But what if the suffering itself was optional?

1:03:17

As you’re probably aware, I’m a big fan of protecting Colorado’s open spaces. You may know Relish is involved with 1% for the Planet, but I think it’s also of interest that I’ve chosen to live deep in the forest of Colorado’s Front Range.

3y ago1:03:35

1:03:35

In the for-profit world, Sales and Marketing are two sides of the same coin. They work hand-in-hand to build an organization. In the nonprofit world, however, these two components of brand building and stakeholder engagement get a bad wrap. But do nonprofits actually sell? Of course they do. Whether some component of your organization drives revenu…

Ep 62: How To Successfully Launch A Product On Amazon With Luke Tierney of Eco D2c 50:16

3y ago50:16

50:16

I don’t think it’s news that Amazon dominates the online selling game, both here in the United States and around the world. You don’t get to be a $1.75T—yes, that’s trillions of dollars—by slacking. In any case, if you’re launching a consumer product, a little knowledge about how to market it on Amazon can go a long way. On this week’s episode, I t…
