Core Team Focus
July
Continue to lay the ground work for the promotional campaign and fall launch. The core team needs to be trained and promotional materials need to be ordered.
July Checklist
- Determine Program Start Date, Time, and Location
- Purchase advertising materials for seeding and the August promotional campaign by going here.
- Select small group leaders. In most cases, core team members will double up as small group leaders, but if you expect to have over 100+ men, then you should recruit additional small group leaders.
- Look for opportunities to promote the program at other parish activities throughout the summer.
- Continue to seed the parish. PERSONAL CONTACT is the foundation for spreading the word. 80% of the men will attend because someone personally invited them.
- Brainstorm ways to effectively track men that have been personally invited, allowing opportunities for follow up as well to make sure someone is not missed.
- Read the Anticipation Phase and make sure you have completed all the items on the checklist.
Anticipation Phase
Quote of the Month:
“I wish I would have been through TMIY in my younger days. It would have really helped me approach things differently and not make a lot of the mistakes I’ve made. With this in mind, I will work harder to actively target these men to join TMIY!”
