Using Niche Crowd-Funding, Entrepreneurs Help Charitable Projects Raise Money

A wave of entrepreneurs are trying to turn a profit by helping good causes find donors to back them.

The tool they use is called niche crowd-funding.

Daily Sales Tip: Do your homework and learn all you can about your potential customers before you call on them.

Get on the Internet, read the local media, read major publications...the more knowledge you have before you get in the door, the better opportunity you have to close the deal.
