What are your favorite prospect management fields?


I'm making my gorgeous PowerPoint presentation titled "Fields of Dreams"* for the Association of Advancement Services Professionals Summit in Chicago next week.

It's about prospect management data fields from collection to reporting. Let me know some of your must-haves in the comments below, and I'll include them in my presentation -- with attribution of course.

I'll be talking about my favorite data fields, how to partner with development officers to collect the data, and how to report that data in a meaningful fashion.

And, I'm going to try to liveblog from the conference, but I won't make any promises.


*I was on painkillers when I thought of the title and concept. When I read the description, I couldn't remember whether I had written it. That said, I am enthusiastic about the topic!

Oh my gosh! Data fields! My favorite. I could talk for hours about this. But I'm sure you've got all my favorites covered... make sure to post info about the liveblog. I will check that out!

That is a very entertaining PowerPoint presentation! Wish I had attended the conference.

I'm too late for your presentation, but here goes anyway.

Besides ID, name, city, state, etc., I like:

Assigned staff
Date of last contact
Projected ask amount
What the ask is for (fund)
Probability of success
Estimated future ask date

I -- Thanks! It was a great conference. You should think about attending next year.

Martin -- It's never too late to talk prospect management fields! I hope to see you at APRA next August. I'm not going to miss another one.
