The answer to this question can often be a balance between motivation and activity level. For example, some people might work better with a big week/ slower week rhythm rather than a "same goal each week" rhythm. Feel free to adjust accordingly. Our ninja skills as coaches is are to discover patterns in motivation and work ethic and leverage those natural patterns to help someone achieve their goals. Activity Averages for Support Raising
When your support - raiser has hit these benchmarks, encourage them to feel the freedom to be “done” with MTD for the week. Celebrate! Have them continue to respond to people texting/calling/ emailing back. But, affirm them in enjoying the work they've accomplished with the Lord’s help and taking a needed break. This is a marathon, not a sprint. Those times of rest are essential to stave away burn-outburnout. |

In these scenarios, we can often wonder, as coaches, "Are these people just cheesing out and not wanting to call? Or have they tried, and no one is picking up?" It's difficult to discern. Here are some reflections from seasoned coaches:

Also known as the “At this rate, it will take you 8 years to raise your initial support" conversation. This one takes prayer and tact, but it's time to have this honest conversation when your support-raiser seems stuck or discouraged by MTD. Reliant's MTD Thresholds & Expectations can be a helpful resource in this situation as it explains what milestones support-raisers are to reach and gives you guidance on what should happen if they don't. These milestones can also serve as a motivator. Example: The 12-week milestone is coming up in 4 weeks. Looks like you have $x left to raise by then. How about we work on breaking that down into small chunks you feel you can accomplish. ? Does that sound like something that would work for you? Tasks for Full Time MTD can also be a helpful tool to send to the employee to remind them what their work should look like in this season. |

If you feel you’ve taken them as far as you can, or if it’s been a year of Initial MTD, it may be time to ask Reliant to switch them to another coach. Sometimes that fresh energy kick-starts them back into vigorous MTD. Other options:

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. Here's another way to think about it:

Ask: How many times have you reached out to them with no response? What method are you using to reach them? What did you say? *Likely, they aren't ghosting. We usually quit too early, only use one method of communication or say something that doesn't beg an immediate response. Ask the above questions to get to the bottom of the story. |
