What your team does with it
A first visit starts their story.
When a first visit lands in Planning Center, Shep adds it as a milestone. Give them a shepherd and a next step, so follow up belongs to a person and not a list.
Notes the whole team can find.
A note lands on the person's story and in the team feed. Nobody chases updates in a group text. 1 on 1s are always private.
Journeys with owners and dates.
Lay out the steps your church already walks people through. Everyone on a journey has someone walking with them and a next step.
