I'm excited about the is there for you. I'm excited about the is there for you. I'm excited about the playbooks because when you if you think playbooks because when you if you think playbooks because when you if you think about football, imagine a about football, imagine a about football, imagine a >> quarterback, you've been training, >> quarterback, you've been training, >> quarterback, you've been training, >> working on the arm, working on the legs, >> working on the arm, working on the legs, >> working on the arm, working on the legs, working on the accuracy. You put in the working on the accuracy. You put in the working on the accuracy. You put in the work, work, work, >> but now it's like it's time to start >> but now it's like it's time to start >> but now it's like it's time to start studying the plays and prepare for the studying the plays and prepare for the studying the plays and prepare for the game. game. game. >> It feels like the building blocks take a >> It feels like the building blocks take a >> It feels like the building blocks take a bit of a turn here when we're talking bit of a turn here when we're talking bit of a turn here when we're talking about the promotion playbooks today. about the promotion playbooks today. about the promotion playbooks today. >> Yeah, building blocks one through three >> Yeah, building blocks one through three >> Yeah, building blocks one through three is very much laying the foundation. And is very much laying the foundation. And is very much laying the foundation. And then four through seven is let's make it then four through seven is let's make it then four through seven is let's make it happen. And speaking to the playbook happen. And speaking to the playbook happen. And speaking to the playbook metaphor, if you think about an offense metaphor, if you think about an offense metaphor, if you think about an offense or a defense, there are all these or a defense, there are all these or a defense, there are all these individuals that have to play their individuals that have to play their individuals that have to play their role. So the receivers, they have to run role. So the receivers, they have to run role. So the receivers, they have to run the right route. And the O line has to the right route. And the O line has to the right route. And the O line has to block to give the quarterback time to block to give the quarterback time to block to give the quarterback time to scan through his progressions and hit scan through his progressions and hit scan through his progressions and hit the person in stride. And if the running the person in stride. And if the running the person in stride. And if the running back doesn't properly block the person back doesn't properly block the person back doesn't properly block the person coming on the outside in the blitz, it coming on the outside in the blitz, it coming on the outside in the blitz, it all falls apart. And so this playbook all falls apart. And so this playbook all falls apart. And so this playbook for each of the promotion levels works for each of the promotion levels works for each of the promotion levels works in similar ways because you have all in similar ways because you have all in similar ways because you have all these different platforms that you could these different platforms that you could these different platforms that you could promote from. Announcements, social, promote from. Announcements, social, promote from. Announcements, social, email, text message, bulletins, the email, text message, bulletins, the email, text message, bulletins, the welcome desk, talk to Pastor Patty,

  4. welcome desk, talk to Pastor Patty, welcome desk, talk to Pastor Patty, whatever it is. And churches typically whatever it is. And churches typically whatever it is. And churches typically are kind of just winging it are kind of just winging it are kind of just winging it >> and the results, well, we get what we >> and the results, well, we get what we >> and the results, well, we get what we get. get. get. >> Broken plays, >> Broken plays, >> Broken plays, >> right? You can tell we're amped up for >> right? You can tell we're amped up for >> right? You can tell we're amped up for fantasy football. fantasy football. fantasy football. >> We're on time. So close. Okay, building >> We're on time. So close. Okay, building >> We're on time. So close. Okay, building block number four, supply promotions block number four, supply promotions block number four, supply promotions playbooks. The point of this is to playbooks. The point of this is to playbooks. The point of this is to deploy these promotional blueprints so deploy these promotional blueprints so deploy these promotional blueprints so that your team stops guessing what to that your team stops guessing what to that your team stops guessing what to say, when to say it, and where to send say, when to say it, and where to send say, when to say it, and where to send people. So, what this step is is, as people. So, what this step is is, as people. So, what this step is is, as we've described right now, every event we've described right now, every event we've described right now, every event in church tends to get promoted in church tends to get promoted in church tends to get promoted differently. differently. differently. >> Someone makes it up each time >> Someone makes it up each time >> Someone makes it up each time >> on the fly. And this results in >> on the fly. And this results in >> on the fly. And this results in inconsistency. And this matters because inconsistency. And this matters because inconsistency. And this matters because what can often happen is you'll have a what can often happen is you'll have a what can often happen is you'll have a big event that actually gets big event that actually gets big event that actually gets underpromoted underpromoted underpromoted >> and you might have a smaller event that >> and you might have a smaller event that >> and you might have a smaller event that gets overpromoted gets overpromoted gets overpromoted because you kind of just fall back to because you kind of just fall back to because you kind of just fall back to like all right we'll do one announcement like all right we'll do one announcement like all right we'll do one announcement here and one social post here and then here and one social post here and then here and one social post here and then the results are what they are. But as we the results are what they are. But as we the results are what they are. But as we worked through in building block number worked through in building block number worked through in building block number one we need to assign levels to every one we need to assign levels to every one we need to assign levels to every ministry to establish hierarchy.

  5. ministry to establish hierarchy. ministry to establish hierarchy. >> Easter matters more than Jake's Saturday >> Easter matters more than Jake's Saturday >> Easter matters more than Jake's Saturday morning run club. That's just true. And morning run club. That's just true. And morning run club. That's just true. And so the way that we promote these things so the way that we promote these things so the way that we promote these things should also be different. And that's should also be different. And that's should also be different. And that's what this building block is for. what this building block is for. what this building block is for. Creating repeatable promotion blueprints Creating repeatable promotion blueprints Creating repeatable promotion blueprints for each communication level. 1 2 3 and for each communication level. 1 2 3 and for each communication level. 1 2 3 and four gets everyone on the same page four gets everyone on the same page four gets everyone on the same page knowing what they need to do ahead of knowing what they need to do ahead of knowing what they need to do ahead of time. And you know what? If nothing time. And you know what? If nothing time. And you know what? If nothing else, that might be the biggest benefit else, that might be the biggest benefit else, that might be the biggest benefit of this building block, of this building block, of this building block, >> which is at the start of my event >> which is at the start of my event >> which is at the start of my event promotion window, I know exactly what I promotion window, I know exactly what I promotion window, I know exactly what I need to do and I can just follow it. need to do and I can just follow it. need to do and I can just follow it. >> Yeah. And when you're trying to juggle >> Yeah. And when you're trying to juggle >> Yeah. And when you're trying to juggle all these different things in ministry, all these different things in ministry, all these different things in ministry, knowing [snorts] ahead of time, okay, knowing [snorts] ahead of time, okay, knowing [snorts] ahead of time, okay, we're this many weeks out. This is what we're this many weeks out. This is what we're this many weeks out. This is what we're going to do. I can follow that is we're going to do. I can follow that is we're going to do. I can follow that is so much easier than you having to come so much easier than you having to come so much easier than you having to come up with what to do that week or that day up with what to do that week or that day up with what to do that week or that day or that month to prepare for it. So, how or that month to prepare for it. So, how or that month to prepare for it. So, how do you do this? You build a standardized do you do this? You build a standardized do you do this? You build a standardized promotion sequence for each of the four promotion sequence for each of the four promotion sequence for each of the four levels. When a ministry asks, "How will levels. When a ministry asks, "How will levels. When a ministry asks, "How will my event get promoted?" You can hand my event get promoted?" You can hand my event get promoted?" You can hand them the playbook for their level. No them the playbook for their level. No them the playbook for their level. No debate needed. And this is installed debate needed. And this is installed debate needed. And this is installed when every promotion request is answered when every promotion request is answered when every promotion request is answered with a playbook, not a negotiation.

That's right. How do you build one? Step number one is to take one? Step number one is to take one? Step number one is to take inventory of every channel. Okay? I inventory of every channel. Okay? I inventory of every channel. Okay? I don't want you to just think about the don't want you to just think about the don't want you to just think about the end result and the playbook that we hand end result and the playbook that we hand end result and the playbook that we hand you. I want you to think about how we you. I want you to think about how we you. I want you to think about how we assemble one to begin with because there assemble one to begin with because there assemble one to begin with because there will be some differences. Take inventory will be some differences. Take inventory will be some differences. Take inventory of every channel. So for your church, of every channel. So for your church, of every channel. So for your church, maybe you have a website, maybe you have maybe you have a website, maybe you have maybe you have a website, maybe you have an Instagram, maybe you have a whatever an Instagram, maybe you have a whatever an Instagram, maybe you have a whatever it might be. So for most churches, it might be. So for most churches, it might be. So for most churches, you're going to have the website, but you're going to have the website, but you're going to have the website, but the website is not a singular entity.

  8. the website is not a singular entity. the website is not a singular entity. There are different things that you can There are different things that you can There are different things that you can use on the website. If you have a use on the website.
