Computer Questions for Ministry Growth Series
Are You Responsive ?
Prospects ( student, volunteer, or donor ) choose the responsive service provider, especially one with whom they have built a relationship. This is part of the "know and trust" discussion often associated with fund raising.A few ministries have taken the effort to ask those people who initially inquired but did not attend their events/schools the "Why?" question. The overwhelming response to "Why did you attend at the other place?" was "Because they responded first to my questions/inquiry."
Are you and your ministry responsive, responding, responsible ( "response-able") ?
How long do people wait to hear back from you ?
Do you have a plan in place to actively engage in conversation with your contacts
?
Or, are you just passively waiting for the "blue birds" to fly into your web-site on the internet? Do you initiate the follow-up contact (especially with past participants) or do you just wait for them to call you again?
Are you keeping track of your communications and using a tool to drive your outgoing phone calls or emails ?
Some ministries and missions have developed a positive pro-active response and relationship building process that increases the number of people participating in their ministry to make God known.
A well-formed database enables them to efficiently perform this process.
