titleWhen is it time to have the "Come to Jesus" conversation with a reluctant support-raiser?

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.

EOYA Questions

titleShould someone in Initial 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. 

Here's another way to think about it: 

  • The EOYA appeals to a different type of donor than the monthly/ recurring donor. Because of that, yes, you can encourage those who are in Initial MTD to do an EOYA. However, they should only send the appeal to the following types of people: 

      • Larger capacity (wealthy)
      • Those who are non-committal (won’t sign up for a recurring gift, but might give a special gift)
      • Those who have previously said no to giving
      • Those who are extra hard to get a hold of/ ghosting
      • Those who have given a special gift, but don’t give on a recurring basis.

    This might end up being a real short list of people. But, that’s ok for year 1! It starts the healthy habit of offering a year-end giving opportunity.
