• | The TNT Phase defines each contact’s status on your ministry partner team. |
• | The TNT Phase is the foundation for TntConnect’s analysis features. |
• | Every contact starts in a position of blankness, which is either “n/a” (no phase assigned) or “Never contacted” (I’m just starting with this contact.) |
• | The TNT Phases move downward through an increasing level of engagement. |
• | The first five phases are “pre-decision”. |
Support Principle: Your goal in support development is to have each contact make a decision.
The decision line is the point where a contact has made a decision, Yes or No.
If Yes, then they become a “Partner” in one of three ways:
• | Partner-Financial (a pledged partner) |
• | Partner-Special (a donor, but has not committed to a specific amount or frequency) |
• | Partner-Prayer (they are interested in your ministry, but through prayer only) |
If No, then they are “Not Interested”
Another “No” is “Never Ask”.
What’s the difference between “Not Interested” and “Never Ask”?
• | Not Interested means THEY said No |
• | Never Ask means YOU said No |
Question: Do I need to move every contact through every phase?
No. Many contacts may leap over several phases, especially the pre-decision phases. For example, when you Call for an Appointment, you may get a "No" at that time.
