I personally answer emails!

There are 10 reasons why I personally answer client’s emails! This is one of the major differences between what I do and what others do.  I get asked often, how are you different from this or that program?  First and foremost it is that I personally involve myself with my clients.  I have some really big churches I work with.  I know that sounds like Trump but by God’s grace it is true.  While working with $19 million dollar budget churches are cool I work just as hard for EVERY church.  EVERY pastor, staff member and lay leader deserves the same kind of treatment no matter what the size of their church budget.

So, here are my 10 reasons why I personally answer client’s emails…

1.  God has called me to serve pastors, staff members and lay leaders of churches who are working to extend the Kingdom.

2.  Investing in the lives of leaders is never a waste of my time it is what I am called to do! 

3.  If you pay me for a service you have the right to get a personal email from me.

4.  My clients pay for my advice and expertise not someone else’s.

5.  I make sure I have time in my schedule so I am assured that I can answer their emails.

6.  I am not focused upon building a seven figure income I am focused upon reversing the decline in giving one church at a time.

7.  I am not such a big shot that I can ignore any of God’s servants in a quest for wealth, prosperity and fame.

8.  As a former Senior Pastor I remember what it was like to need help but not feel anyone was there for you.

9.  I learn something from every email that better equips me to help the next church!

10.  Its just good maners!

Monday was a classic example.  After spending time on a webinar with a handful of pastors, all from churches running under 500 I set about writing materials.  One project was for a church with a $1.2 million dollar budget.  The other was for a church with a $400K budget.  Both needed my help and they got my help.

Late in the day I received an email from one of my Giving365 clients.  His church is not large but he is doing amazing things for the Kingdom.  He had a letter he had written and he wanted my input.  I read it, edited it to better highlight his message and sent it back to him.  That took, 15 to 20 minutes of my time but saved him a ton of time.

$1.  That is what he paid for my services.  I charge $365 a year for Giving365.  I have a small number of clients by intention so that I can personally respond to each of them.  If I ever get too big to answer your email then I have gotten too big for my britches.  All of us in this industry need to remember one crucial point,

We serve the Bride of Christ!

Others may decline to answer your emails but I will never decline.  In fact here is my personal email address, Mark@TheCharisGroup.org  If you need me I am here.
