– Happy New Year! Successful major gift officers recognize the importance of prospect management planning and use New Year's resolutions as a powerful organizational tool. At the start of each new year, they reflect on their prospect management strategies and future plans, setting specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound objectives for the year, quarter, and month ahead. This helps them maintain focus and motivation toward their fundraising goals.
