what's next: getting your supporters to take the next step
DESCRIPTION
Getting a user to donate, sign a petition, or attend an event is straightforward. But what do you want them to do next? Once a user takes their first action, that’s when the hard work really starts. In order to achieve long-term success and reach all of your organization’s goals, you constantly have to be thinking down the road and asking yourself “what’s next?” As an online organizer, it can be daunting to think and plan two or three steps ahead… but it doesn’t have to be. Watch the webinar to learn how to lay out your organization’s goals and achieve long-term success.TRANSCRIPT
