Fundraiser Goal Setting Guide

How to set achievable seller goals

Why should you have a Fundraiser Goal? Setting a benchmark for your students is essential because it lets your sellers know what’s expected of them. It gives them something to aim for, aiding in motivation and creating a competitive spirit among participants. Your goal will also allow you to track your sales progress effectively and will inform you when your fundraiser is over.

Goal setting can seem ambiguous at first. This goal-setting guide offers clarity with a step-by-step process to discover your ideal fundraising goal. We even share a mathematical equation to help ensure that your goal is realistic and high enough to motivate sellers to push themselves to sell, sell, sell.

In addition to goal setting, this ebook touches on sales accountability, online selling, delivery issues, and post-fundraiser analysis.
