“Keep me posted.”

Sounds promising. But also... what does that actually mean?


In this Story Snack, Stacy Havener breaks down one of the vaguest phrases in fundraising, and why “keep me posted” should be the start of the conversation instead of your cue to sit back and wait.

Because if an allocator wants you to keep them posted, your next job is figuring out what they actually want updates on.


Listen in to hear:

  • The question to ask so “keep me posted” actually means something
  • Why waiting until you hit the magic number could mean starting the relationship over from scratch
  • How often to follow up (Stacy has a number)
  • What to send when there isn’t a huge update to share
  • How to stay top of mind without becoming the person they stop opening emails from

This is Story Snacks, a bite-sized series for fund managers who want to get better at strategic storytelling in under 20 minutes a week.
