“Prompt rejection is cost effective.”
This is a great proverb I received yesterday while taking some cues & pointers from an experienced fundraiser. It transcends that specific topic though. It carries over into relationships, business deals, and even parenting. It saves people on both sides of the equation. If the answer is going to invariably be ‘NO’ then let’s go ahead and get to that conclusion. Save time, hope, money, energy, emails, phone calls and heartache.
