The Mission, The Case & The Message

Make a compelling case; your message filled with contagious enthusiasm. Involving the CEO and top managers, this customized initiative will bring life to your institution's mission, vision, values and dreams. Could your team accurately state the organization's mission? How many could summarize it's key elements?

Research: The Service Need / Proof Of Performance

Similar to "Ascertainment of Community Needs" studies conducted by broadcasters in the past, TeamSoper's new research designs give you insight into the needs of those you serve. Trendlines from on-going studies highlight new opportunities for service. And, just as important, can confirm your institution is "making a real difference" -- an increasingly important fact to your donors.

Executive Coaching

For CEO's and development professionals with a desire to strengthen their personal fundraising knowledge and skills, Executive Coaching has proven a valuable investment. Through e-mail, phone, and on-site discussions, TeamSoper can help you identify obstacles to success and sort your way through the maze of alternative solutions.

Executive Coaching also provides you with a performance appraisal system that employees actually praise . . . using key, measurable, success measures that encourage strategic doing. Generally established as a retainer project, fees are based on mutually agreed needs.

Joint Fundraising Assessment / Development "Audit"

Sometime described by potential clients or other consultants as a "Development Audit," TeamSoper's process involves a nonprofit's top management and key professionals. We believe it is more accurately described as a "Joint Review."

Michael Soper, TeamSoper's President, assists your entire development and fundraising team over a day and one-half series of on-site meetings to identify areas of success and those areas that need improvement.
