Recruiting in 6 Intentional Steps

The Lp Recruiting *Promise
“If you do these six steps you will fill your open residency. If it doesn’t work within six months I will personally wash your car every week for a solid year.”
Dave Miller

Recruiting in 6 steps:
1. Sit still for 20 minutes and pray something like “please bring to mind people who may know someone.”

2. Write those 15 names down. (If you didn’t come up with 15 go pray more).

3. Spend one good hour a week working on that list asking them “if they know someone” and watch it grow (they eventually are going to give you other people to reach out to).

4. Reach out to them, making sure they have your landing page link.

5. Ping them every three weeks continuing the conversation.
5b. Do not stop, even when they have stopped responding.

6. Get 9 people to join you in doing steps 1-5 to 10x your effort.

Who might come to mind:
that annoying person that keeps bothering you about how awesome their other church was, that dynamic family that just joined your church, that dynamic family that just moved out of town, that one person from college you haven’t talked to in a decade, that denominational leader, that lady you met in the coaching circle at a staff gathering, that girl that runs a killer residency across town (maybe she’s rejecting someone?), that other annoying person who keeps talking about their previous church and how awesome they were, interns who served at your church 6 years ago, the last person who moved to town to join your staff, the person who knew the plumber to call and the mechanic to call and a the a good counselor to call, the staff leader that just transitioned to another church, your spouse, the newest elder who has a nephew in ministry, the insurance salesman, the carpet salesman, the real estate agent, the hairdresser, the MOPS leader…

I wonder if these people know anyone who might know someone who would love to join your team as a resident?

*Lindsay hates it when Dave make promises, but we are confident we can keep this one.
