I am needing help with organization and coaching with lots of long distance people. I need a good (modifiable) check list for host coaching regular and fundraisers

I also need a good basic host and fundraiser letter that helps them understand things including filling out order forms correctly and thier responsibilities for hosting.
 
Kathy, there is not a good substitute for host coaching via telephone. Our 3-call system is proven, that's why the HO trains us on it!

Even though they are long distance, I would still recommend calling them! Our business is about RELATIONSHIPS and you can't build a relationship with someone via letters or email.

Some want to talk on the phone and some do not - You know how hard it is to track down people sometimes - I am trying to put a letter in the host packet to cover questions in case they forget what we discussed too
 
Kathy,

This is what I do... not only do I call them but I email them as well... that way if I can't get ahold of them one way I have tried another way. Sometimes people get busy and email is the best way to respond to them !!!

A lot of my fundraiser hosts are training for a distance event, fundraising as individuals and working full time as well as other family obligations. It's hard to catch them. I was hoping someone had a letter to help answer questions when they forget what we discussed etc.

They forget the basics like our fundraiser have be at least $150 in orders. Covering shipping questions etc.
 
This is a fundraiser checklist that used to be available on CC. I don't know that it is what you need but it might be good to use as a basis for creating your own list.

That looks great. I've turned it into a word document so it can easily be modified.
