titleThe person I'm coaching won't respond to me and/or isn't showing up for weekly coaching times.
  1. Call them as with a gentle reminder. Leave a voicemail, if necessary. Let them know you're excited to start meeting regularly. Ask to see if they're ok (maybe they're sick or have had a crisis arise). Remind them you're there to empower them to reach their goal, not to babysit them. And that Share how studies have shown that faithfulness in attending weekly coaching meetings corelates to effectiveness in raising support. Then ask them to let you know when would be a good time for them to meet weekly for encouragement. If they agreed to the MTD Coaching Agreement, you may also refer to that. Or you can introduce this in one of your first calls to set expectations and reach a mutual agreement moving forward. 
  2. If you get no response, reach out to the program team lead and to let them know what's going on and ask for their direction on what you should do next.

EOYA Questions

titleShould someone new to MTD make a year-end ask?

Depends. EOYA appeals to a different type of giver than your recurring donor. For example, EOYA can be a great way to approach a larger-capacity giver who your coachee is intimidated by or with whom they cannot book a formal MTD presentation meeting (due to the giver's busy schedule). When this type of donor gives to a year-end appeal, it indicates a level of interest in the ministry and invites follow-up conversations and follow-up giving opportunities. 

If those you're coaching are willing to follow the Game Plan for End Of Year Giving and only ask those who have not received an invitation to give in 6 months or more, then tell them to go for it.
