Any organisation that wishes to tap into the wealth and influence of the rich and powerful needs to know as much about them as possible. Prospect research, already used by fund-raisers with considerably success in the United States and elsewhere to target key people, can make all the difference to the success or failure of the initial approach.

Targeting the Powerful is a highly practical guide to prospect research, written by a leading expert. It explains how to conduct in-depth research into a person, company or charitable organization, and how to use the information to recommend a line of approach most likely to succeed.
