As a consultant I recently shared a very similar point of view with a recent client. I would add also that having systems in place will also help formalize a process of testing what works effectively with an organization's constituents [or subsets thereof] or not. Overtime a consistent approach and reflection on outcomes will enable an organization to really fine tune their development and marketing efforts. Pamela, thanks for a great post.

If you're running a micro nonprofit, don't take on more than you can handle. And don't flit from one to another because the first didn't deliver immediately. Thanks for the Beverly Sills quote and its application to nonprofits. Whether it’s blogging, Twitter, Facebook, whatever, a key to having and using a “system” is persistent consistency.
