"We have used TellStart several times and have found it to be an effective tool. It helped us connect with a large number of people in a short amount of time-- TellStart is a key momentum builder early in new church life."

TellStart can telephone up to 50,000 homes per day on your behalf, seeking interested people for your church.The phone numbers are obtained from public database sources.We do not call unlisted or business numbers - only residential phones. Essentially,we take about eight seconds and ask if the person answering the phone would be interested in attending an area church. They are asked to press the number 1 key on their keypad if they'd like to hear more. (Go to samplescript in audio or MS Word). If the person presses number 1 they are given an additional one-minute message containing details about your church. At the close of this section they are invited to leave their name and address for follow-up, and
more detailed information.They may also press 9 to be placed on our do not call list. Those who have left their names after the tone areprospects for your church. Remember, these are people who have requested that YOU contact THEM! At this point you would initiate personal follow-up and incorporate as many as possible into your ministry.

“I have known Phil Spry and followed his ministry for several years. He understands how to identify and attract the unchurched. I have recommended many of my church planters to use his TellStart program with incredible results. Phil combines missionary insights with marketing understanding to help church planters (and Pastors) gather a following. He also knows how to do it on a realistic budget. I highly recommend TellStart to churches, and church planters.”
Glen Smith Founder and President New Church Initiatives Houston, TX
"As director and trainer for the Church of God, the IPHC denominations and many independent church planting organizations, I require all church planters to use Phil Spry’s TellStart marketing system if they want to have a successful grand opening or big event."
