Something that is easy to obtain in business is usually called the low hanging fruit. Of course these days, there\u2019s not much fruit left on the trees and the low hanging stuff is always the first picked. This post is about how you reach the fruit that\u2019s higher up and harder to harvest.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy to pick low hanging fruit because it\u2019s there within easy reach, you don\u2019t have to seek it out. These are the volunteers that give lots of their time, the donors who write regular checks, the agencies that give you grants every time you ask, and the corporations in your area that give you regular donations. These are you low hanging fruit, and it\u2019s good. You don\u2019t have to climb any trees to find it.<\/div>\n
