What to do when a college, etc.. call you asking for money:
I did the "Phonathon" at my college. we called alumni and asked for money, but we are also updating our alumni informations database. we can call them because we are updating info, but we also ask for money to help support all the things we dop at our school. (i'll spare u all the speech
).
your name is NOT going to be removed frrom our list! you must understand that! next, just tell them no you will not be donating. Better yet, just tell them you will donate 5$, once you tell them you are gonna donate 5$ THEY WILL NOT CALL YOU AGAIN... untill next time.
how it works with us is that we send u a card and you send it back with a check or whatever. (this is how it works where i am but it might be different for whomever is calling you.)
either tell them yes (and only give a dollor or 5) OR just say no, if you dont tell us "NO" we are gonna call you back every day.
if you are RUDE WE WILL CALL YOU BACK..... CAUSE WE CAN!
so say i'll donate either donate something, or just say no, either way give us a real answer or we're gonna keep callin you back.
please be nice we are just college students tryin to make some money. if you went to the school and liked it tell us about it and give some money, we'll sent you the alunmi news letter
no matter how much you donate it'll be appreciated and that way you can come to all the alumni events, even if you dont donate you still can come. the point of it all is to get alumni to give back to the school and also to add to the school alumni statictics to help get money from the Gov't.
remember be nice, and give us a real answer : yes or no...
maybe or "he's not home" just means... "CALL ME BACK"
