Goal Setting

 

Are you S.M.A.R.T?

This is an interesting chapter, self-leadership and teamwork skills. How many of you feel that you have mastered the five stages of self-leadership? Goal setting is an important stage in self leadership. When was the last time you have set goals as it relates to this chapter? 

 

To be successful in sales, planning your strategy for accomplishing your sales is encouraged. Remember SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and timely) concept where the goals that you set helps bring structure to your goals and objectives. Performance targets are prioritized and resources are allocated with each goal and objective.  As a fundraiser, we are considered the sales team of a nonprofit organization and strategic planning is very important. Each fiscal year, I analyze the previous fiscal year's campaign activity and evaluate what was successful. Then a new strategy is created that includes not only my goals and objectives, but those that have been placed upon me by my national office. If I did not plan, my fundraising efforts would not be as effective to generate the amount of revenue that I may have projected.
