Your first-time follow-up

Someone visited on Sunday! Here's the thing: within 48 hours, one warm note can be what brings them back instead of letting them drift away. Tell us a little, and we'll write it in your voice. Then you'll build the simple system that makes sure it always sends.

Auto-saving as you go
Part AWrite the note

Tell us a little, we'll draft it

A warm opening, no asks, one gentle next step, signed by a real person. You give the details; we write it in your church's voice. Then edit anything you like.

Loading your voice…
One real detail makes it personal. Skip if you don't have one.
An open door, not a push. Leave blank and we'll offer a simple "reply with any questions."
A real person with a name. People reply to people.

Part BBuild the system

Make sure it actually sends

The note is written. Now the part that matters most: the simple system that makes sure a follow-up goes out within 48 hours every time, without depending on anyone remembering.

You can't follow up with someone whose name you don't have. Pick everything you use (or plan to).
Name one person. A system owned by everyone is owned by no one.
The goal is within 48 hours, while the visit is still fresh.
Manual is perfect for a small church. Semi-automated helps once you're seeing more visitors.
A standing weekly moment where someone checks that every visitor from Sunday got their note.
The payoff

Your note and your system

Save both as one PDF to hand to whoever owns the process, or copy the note straight into your email tool.
