About this listen

In this episode of Deep Dive For Impact, Nick identifies some mistakes that organizations make when hiring fundraisers, reviews the "table stakes" of hiring good fundraisers, and introduces the concept of a fundraising "supernova" and why that isn't a scalable model. We then go through three primary traits as well as two bonus traits of good fundraisers, and we conclude with a practical example of how to find people who exhibit these traits.
