In the last dinner my dad and I shared, I asked him a question about his career in sales.
“Do you miss being in sales?” I said.
“No,” my dad said. “I was just doing what I needed to do to keep the lights on.”
This answer threw me off guard. I was expecting a funny answer on how he didn’t miss dealing with certain people. That’s definitely not what I got.
The answer he gave felt real.
It felt deep.
My dad sold software and marketing materials for as long as he could. He worked from sun up to sun down, and us Wilsons really had all we ever needed.
My brother attended a prestigious music camp in Michigan; I attended a sports media seminar in North Carolina; and we took family trips to Disney.
We were set.
Team Trust connects with countless nonprofits, and we see how hard every individual works to maximize their impact. Many organizations are stuck in a cycle of doing more, but achieving only minimal increases in fundraising and marketing success.
My dad worked tirelessly to provide for us Wilson, just like many nonprofit leaders work tirelessly to serve their communities. But doing more doesn’t always mean getting more done. In retrospect, I learned my dad was working HARD and SMART!
Nonprofits, like the people who run them, deserve a way to grow their impact without burning out. That’s why Team Trust is offering something different — ways to achieve more with less effort.
Team Trust has had the great opportunity to help really cool organizations, like Catalyst Sports, AccesSurf and even Indiana University, do just that.
For Catalyst Sports and AccesSurf, we created films and timeless marketing content that helped them tap into new audiences. There wasn’t much additional work they had to do.
For Indiana, we provided actionable strategies for them to better serve their current and potential students with disabilities. It was fun, and certainly very meaningful for me.
An incredible 30 percent of ALL annual giving takes place in December and 10 percent takes place in the last three days of the year. If you haven’t been satisfied with your current finances or growth, make this year different.
Make this year one you will never forget.
