Testimonials

What Clients Are Saying

"It can sometimes be tricky finding the right consultant. You need to build trust and rapport quickly and value for money can be debatable. Which is why we were so delighted with fundraising consultant Brian Saber. As a medium-sized private school in Sydney, Australia embarking on a two-million dollar capital campaign, we hired Brian to train our volunteers in the art and science of asking for gifts. Brian's expertise is exceptional and his affable style and personal manner were exactly what we needed to ensure our volunteers felt comfortable and confident for the campaign. We didn't miss a thing having Brian's training delivered to us online from the U.S. and the cost compared to an in-house local consultant was a very pleasant bonus. I highly recommend Brian and his team."

Karen Gair
Director of Development & Community Relations
Monte Sant' Angelo Mercy College

"Brian has made a tremendous impact on our organization. He created a 6-month training for our entire national network - 50 chapters - that has been very effective in every way. The combination of webinars, group coaching calls, and individual coaching calls has helped him build the fundraising skills of every chapter. He's a master trainer, incredibly knowledgeable, and has an engaging personality!"

Barbara Shaffer
Senior Director of Chapter Services
Prevent Child Abuse America

“Brian customized an amazing 1-hour training program for our legal services fundraising board on how to ask for individual gifts. His presentation was focused, straight forward, and very practical. Brian’s deep expertise and experience combined with his low-key personal style really resonated with a skeptical audience. The Asking Styles gave our board members permission to be themselves, alleviating much of the anxiety around asking individuals for major gifts.  I found Brian to be very easy to work with and discovered several “aha” moments while participating in his training. I believe we would not have been as successful in our campaign without Brian’s help.”    

Andrea Kaufman
Mid-Minnesota Legal Aid

"Brian hosted two webinars for our Board members and other volunteer fundraisers. The two sessions were incredibly helpful to the group, most of whom were new to fundraising. Brian provided them with the tools to feel comfortable with their Asking Style, and the confidence to approach new donors. We’re looking forward to a great year of asking!"
