Winning Missions Moment Strategy

Your mission moment is the catalyst to a successful paddle raise. When your audience understand where the money is going, they’re more willing to give. The mission moment is done right before the paddle raise. It’s like loading a racehorse into the gate. Then, watch the auctioneer take that horse on a thrilling and record fundraising finish.  There are many ways to put together an effective mission moment. If this is put together the right way, just sit back and enjoy everyone in the room raise their paddles. We will help you put together the best mission moment so your paddle raise is a huge success.
