It ranks right up there with public speaking. Nearly all of us fear it. And yet it’s critical to our success. Asking for money. It makes even the stout-hearted quiver.
But now comes a book, Asking: A 59-Minute Guide to Everything Board Members, Staff and Volunteers Must Know to Secure the Gift. And short of a medical elixir, it’s the next best thing for emboldening you, your board members and volunteers to ask with skill, finesse … and powerful results.
Jerold Panas, who as a staff person, board member and volunteer has secured gifts ranging from to million, understands the art of asking perhaps better than anyone in America.
He has harnessed all of his knowledge and experience and produced what many are already calling a landmark book.
What Asking convincingly shows — and one reason staff will applaud the book and board members will devour it — is that it doesn’t take stellar communication skills to be an effective asker. Nearly everyone, regardless of their persuasive ability, can become an effective fundraiser if they follow Jerold Panas’ step-by-step guidelines.

The New York Times bestseller that introduced the business world to a future that’s already here–now in paperback with a new chapter about Long Tail Marketing and a new epilogue.
Winner of the Gerald Loeb Award for Best Business Book of the Year
In the most important business book since The Tipping Point, Chris Anderson shows how the future of commerce and culture isn’t in hits, the high-volume head of a traditional demand curve, but in what used to be regarded as misses–the endlessly long tail of that same curve.
“It belongs on the shelf between The Tipping Point and Freakonomics.”
–Reed Hastings, CEO, Netflix
“Anderson’s insights . . . continue to influence Google’s strategic thinking in a profound way.”
–Eric Schmidt, CEO, Google
“Anyone who cares about media . . . must read this book.”
–Rob Glaser, CEO, RealNetworks
