Hi there!
Sent this letter out today to all our group members, but for those of you lurking on the fringes of the group blog who havent yet signed up, I thought I would invite your feedback too.

have a read and come back to me!

regards

Ciaran...

For all non-profits, this year will be tough, especially in obtaining funding and getting interest from a public that is burnt out on the economic roller-coaster.  The corporate sector is feeling this as well – although a number of companies seem to be treating this like an opportunity. 

Salesforce.com’s EMEA marketing leadership team is keen to donate some of their time to work with leaders of non-profits to help with:

    * Creating the best pitch
    * Dealing with the media
    * Optimising your internet footprint
    * Organising events that make a difference
    * Super-charging giving

This seems to be a brilliant opportunity to get advice for free!  They are offering to hold 4 meetings spread over the year – each will build on the last to deliver real value to non-profit organisations.  They have asked me to reach out and understand if there is an interest in this, and if there are specific issues that they might tackle.

So my ask is... Please could you give me feedback on what content you think your organisation might like included in such free events.

If you don't deal with things from a marketing / media  perspective, then please forward this email onto anyone in your organisation who might be interested in this opportunity.

All the feedback I get will be forwarded to Salesforce and I will keep you all posted on the plan.

Hoping you are all as excited by this opportunity as I am.

Looking forward to your feedback

Regards
