1. Help create or evaluate a business plan for an earned income venture.
2. Advocate for government money.
3. Provide intelligence on prospects.
4. Set up a meeting with a prospective customer.
5. Email, call, or visit a donor just to say thanks.
6. Explain to a prospect why you serve.
7. Host a small gathering at your home.
8. Recruit an in-kind service.
9. Negotiate a lower price from a vendor.
