Note
  • Be prepared to share about your ministry at any time in person, but use that conversation to set a specific appointment.
  • Let them know of your enthusiasm for your new assignment. If you're making a phone call, don't forget to smile while you talk! It really makes a difference!
  • This example still uses a loose filter.

  • You can use the following script for both a phone call or a text message. If calling someone, we recommend having this script in front of you the first few times to help you remember what to say. And please feel free to tweak these scripts a bit to make them sound more like YOU!

Phone Call:

Hello. Is this (potential donor)?

Yes.

My name is <your name>. I am a friend of <name of referer> - we go to Super Cool Church together! Did he/she mention I’d be calling?

Yes!

OK. Great!

No, they didn't.

Oh no! Sorry about that! Well, did I catch you at a bad time?

No.

Actually, Yes. → I'm so sorry about that. When is a better time for me to call back? From here, work with the person to find a good time to reach out again.

If they said now's a good time to talk → Great! As I said, my name is ______, and I met up with <referer> a couple of days/weeks ago and got to share with them about the ministry I’m involved with at ____________.  Our ministry thrives off other people who support what we do, and after sharing with <referer>, he/she thought you would be excited to hear my story and what God is doing at ______! Is there a day next week that works for you?

Note

If the referral doesn't answer, either leave a message:

Hi! This message is for _______. My name is ______, and I met up with <referer> a couple of days/weeks ago and got to share with them about the ministry I’m involved with at ____________.  He/she thought you would be excited to hear my story! I would love to find a time to get together and share with you about what God is doing at ______. Feel free to call me back, but if we don't connect in the next few days, I'll try you again! Have a great day!

Or send the text below.
