My personal career path is leading me on the road to non-profits. While not typically seen as dealing in sales, non-sales selling is the heart of the non-profit world \u2013 and for-profit enterprises would do well to look at non-profits and see how to apply a spirit of service to their work. Non-profits are about more than the exchange of money through donations, they\u2019re about what happens afterwards and the progress they can show investors and those who have donated.<\/p>\n
Dedicated non-profit builders completely empty themselves in an effort to bring healing to a suffering place or people, and usually that is born of a pain that the founder felt or saw themselves. I appreciate when non-profits are deeply personal, because it tells a story that you can immerse yourself into and become involved with through donations or your own voluntary service. Ryan Keith, the founder of Forgotten Voices, is a wonderful example of someone who saw a need that became deeply personal, and he pursued a way to fix it. His non-profit has helped hundreds of orphans in Africa, and every day they are working to expand their network across the continent to reach more and more children.<\/p>\n
Non-profits at their best epitomize serving others through business, and a great non-profit will get you excited about serving alongside them to fix the need they are addressing. They build trust with communities, bring hope to broken places, and lead by example \u2013 which is why I can\u2019t wait to join the ranks of these servant leaders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
