Persona & Pitch Rehearsal

Practice the big ask before you’re in the room.

What it does

Build a realistic persona of the program officer, major donor, or board prospect you’re about to meet — grounded in research about their actual priorities — and rehearse the conversation. Pressure-test your pitch, hear the hard questions early, and walk in prepared.

How your organization uses it

Foundation meetings

Rehearse your pitch against a persona built from that funder’s real giving priorities; find the weak spots before the program officer does.

Major donor asks

Practice the seven-figure conversation — the objections, the timing, the number — in a consequence-free room.

Media and public moments

Prep for a press interview or town hall by rehearsing against the toughest plausible questions.

Why it matters

Walk into high-stakes meetings already warmed up
Hear hard questions from a persona, not a funder
Junior staff build fundraising confidence safely
Grounded in real research, not guesswork
