How Parts of Your Messaging May Be Sabotaging Your Advocacy Success - Episode 37

How Parts of Your Messaging May Be Sabotaging Your Advocacy Success - Episode 37

If I told you that up to 85% of your overall messaging may be undermining your goals for engaging key decisionmakers, you might be alarmed, or you might be skeptical.  But many nonprofits are in this situation and don’t realize it.  The good news is, there are some simple things you can do to identify and rework any counterproductive messaging, and ensure that all of your messaging and communications are supporting your effort to engage decisionmakers and get them to take action on your behalf.  

In this episode, we share:

  • The common messaging mistakes that are literally sabotaging many nonprofits’ advocacy efforts
  • How your general audience messaging is affecting your target decisionmakers
  • How to identify any counterproductive messaging you may be using 
  • The four core elements that should be in all of your messaging for any audience 
  • How to frame the core elements for a general audience that also will support your advocacy work

If you found value in this episode, please share it with other progressive nonprofit leaders.  And I’d be grateful if you would leave a rating and review on Apple podcasts, which will help even more people find out about this podcast.

Thanks!
