Working Smarter: Automation for Major Gift Officers
6:30 a.m. Calendar chaos already. By 10 a.m., she hadn't talked to a single donor yet. Six months later, same alarm, same portfolio. Totally different morning. On this week's episode of The Intentional Fundraiser, I walk through what changed for a major gift officer named Renee, and exactly which categories of work she handed off to AI and automation, and which she never will. In this episode, Working Smarter: Automation for Major Gift Officers, I cover: → The real numbers behind a 45-hour week, and where they were really going → Three categories of tasks that are safe to delegate to AI and automation → Two workflows you can set up this week, no technical background required What's one task on your calendar right now that drains you and barely touches a donor? Listen to the episode and share it with a teammate who's ready to get their week back. More from Tammy Zonker Author of Calling All Heroes (https://fundraisingtransformed.us14.l...)
