Business development can be daunting in any market, but for prestige organizations seeking a select group of ultra high-spending clients or donors, just a handful of warm prospects can be the difference between exceeding targets or missing them altogether.
The ultra wealthy are defined as individuals with a net worth of $30m or more. Winning new ultra high net worth (UHNW) clients or donors requires a great deal of trust, and there are no shortcuts to building it. UHNW prospects present a unique set of challenges and typically have greater demands on their time. They consequently have more demanding and distinctive standards. Because of these unique preferences, UHNW individuals require an elevated approach for effective engagement.
Connecting to the genuine passions and interests of an UHNW prospect allows you to capture mindshare, winning a place in their attention and establishing an initial level of trust. While standard prospecting approaches are far less likely to succeed, the right approach requires finding the best engagement points — those that are based on a deep knowledge of each UHNW prospect.
Finding these points of engagement and connection is a vital first step toward cultivating relationships. Behind every major sale or gift lies a significant amount of time and work invested in creating that relationship.
