At Altrui we focus on working with clients in growing their relationships with donors and increasing their fundraising.

We publish weekly blog posts, titled Dan’s Tips, and are present on Twitter (@fundraiserdan) and LinkedIn .

We also have been doing some recruiting for clients who are adding to their fundraising teams. It’s been a lot of fun, and has offered many opportunities for growth.

There is a difference when posting on social media for a client. The post has to come across even more professional, of course.

Imagine the horror on my face when responding to a colleaugue who had asked about a position we are recruiting for, when I saw the original post with a typo! I actually spelled the word “client” incorrectly!

Words immediately came out of my mouth.

Fortunately I could quickly edit the post, but after 200+ impressions.

Another reminder to slow down.

To self edit anything I am about to post.
