First Time Visitor’s Call Script (3-5 mins/call)
This follow-up script is used to formally thank each First Time Visitor within 48 hours of visiting and to invite
them to the FTVBS. Before calling, ask God to guide your discussion. Project warmth and enthusiasm about
their visit. Have a pen and follow-up card handy. The best times to call are between the hours of 6 pm-8 pm.
Remember why? God’s heart is driven by redemptive love. (Jn 3:16; Rom. 5: 6-8)
