    The 3rd Pilot · 5 Spots

    We build your volunteer onboarding for you. In your voice. We even film it.

    You do one 60-minute call. We write it, film it, build it, and run your first 10 volunteers. You keep it forever.

    You've already tried to fix this.

    You started a Google Doc. You bought the platform. Maybe you asked ChatGPT to write something.

    But none of it sounds like you. None of it got finished. And your new volunteers still show up guessing.

    So here's the honest version. You know exactly what you'd tell every new volunteer. You just can't sit down with all of them. You're wearing 20 hats. The onboarding never gets built.

    This isn't a discipline problem. It's a time problem. You don't need another tool. You need someone to build the whole thing for you.

    The problem

    So the person who said yes gets handed almost nothing. They guess how things work. They show up unsure. A few weeks later, they quietly stop coming. And you never find out why.

    The empty spot on the roster hurts. But that's not the worst part.

    The worst part is the voice in your head: "I failed them. They said yes to me, and I didn't give them what they needed to stay."

    "We haven't encoded the DNA into anything written. I don't think I've got anything to send you."
    - Lead pastor, Sydney church

    We hear that on almost every call. It's not that you don't know your DNA. You know it cold. You've just never had time to write it down. So it stays in your head, and every new volunteer misses it.

    And when one volunteer leaves, the cost spreads further than you'd think.

    "You lose one person, you have to redo the entire production roster… it changes everything."
    - Worship pastor, Sydney church

    The mechanism

    Here's what makes us different.

    We don't give you a platform. We don't hand you a template. We don't ask you to build a course. We do the whole thing for you.

    We sit with you for 60 minutes and capture how you explain your team. The why behind the what.

    Then we go to work. We write your onboarding in your own words. We come to your church in Sydney and film it on-site - a real crew, one or two videos of you, or your leader, talking straight to your new volunteers.

    We build it all. Setup. Invitations. Enrolment. You approve it once. Then we run your first 10 volunteers. We track who's started. We follow up with anyone who stalls. We send you a one-screen update each week.

    You read one email. That's your job.

    You talk for 60 minutes. We build the whole thing.

    The value reframe

    Let's be clear about what you're getting.

    You're not buying 10 volunteers. You're getting a complete onboarding system. Written, filmed, built, and run for you.

    A Sydney film crew alone runs more than $1,500 a day. Add the writing. Add the setup. Add a month of us running your volunteers and reporting back. It's about $3,000 of real work.

    And you keep all of it. Forever. The first 10 volunteers are the proof - they show you it works. But the system stays. It onboards your next 10, and the 10 after that, at no extra build cost. You build it once, with us. It runs for every volunteer who ever says yes.

    60-minute DNA call - culture and voice captured$300
    Onboarding pathway, written in your voice (not a template)$600
    On-site filming in Sydney - 1–2 videos, teleprompter + coaching$1,200
    Editing and production$400
    Platform built - setup, invitations, enrolment$300
    We run your first 10 for 30 days - tracking, follow-up, weekly reports$400
    Day-30 results review + the whole system, yours to keep$150

    Total value ≈$3,000$497

    And it credits toward your first year, so you're not paying twice.

    WHAT YOU KEEP FOREVER
    Your onboarding, written in your voice. Your videos, filmed on-site. Your whole system, built and ready. Every future volunteer goes through it. No rebuild. No extra cost.

    Here's exactly how it works

    Step 1 - One call.

    We sit with you for 60 minutes. You talk about your team - how things really work, what you expect, what makes your culture yours. We record it and capture your voice.

    Step 2 - One approval.

    We write your onboarding in your words. We film it at your church. We build the whole thing. You read it, say "that's us," and we handle the rest. Setup, invitations, enrolment. All of it.

    Step 3 - One email a week.

    Your first 10 volunteers go through it. We track every person. We follow up with anyone who stalls. We send you a weekly update. You don't chase anyone.


    Your total time: about 90 minutes. Ours: all of it.

    What you don't do

    ✓ You do one call. You approve one draft. You read one email a week.


    After 30 days, here's what changes

    Your next volunteer shows up ready. They've already heard your welcome. They've seen your videos. They know the why behind how your team serves. They know what's expected, and what's not - all before their first Sunday.

    You stop repeating yourself. We deliver the talk you've given a hundred times - in your voice, to every person, every time.

    And you? You're leading on Sunday. Not orienting someone in the hallway. You get your weeknights back.

    Honest proof

    We've built this for Sydney churches already. The pattern is always the same - the pastor knows exactly what to say. They just never had the time to make it stick. So we make it stick for them.

    We won't show you fake numbers. This is a pilot - you'd be one of five. What we can tell you is what we build, and how we build it. The work above is the work you get.

    "You can't just not turn up. That's not a thing."
    - Lead pastor, Sydney church

    Philosophical anchor

    He's right. Showing up matters. People should keep their word.

    But volunteers can't show up ready for something nobody showed them. That part is on us, not them.

    Church leaders who pour their hearts into recruiting volunteers shouldn't lose them because nobody had 60 minutes to show them how things work.

    That's a solvable problem. And it shouldn't be yours to solve alone.

    The 3rd Pilot · 5 Spots

    A complete onboarding system, built and run for you.

    Your first 10 volunteers are the proof. $497 - one-time.

    We're taking 5 churches into our third pilot.

    Here's everything we do for you:
    • 60-minute DNA call - we capture your culture and voice (your effort: ~60 min)
    • Your onboarding written in your own words - not a template
    • On-site filming in Sydney - a real crew, 1–2 videos (a Sydney crew alone is $1,500+/day)
    • Full setup, invitations and enrolment - we build all of it
    • We run your first 10 volunteers - track, follow up, weekly reports (your effort: read one email)
    • Day-30 results review - see exactly what changed

    What it's really worth: the writing, the film crew, the build, and a month of us running it lands around $3,000 of work. Your pilot price is $497, once. And you keep the system forever.

    You keep everything, no matter what.

    Love it? Your $497 credits toward your first year. After that we keep it running for $149/month, or $1,499/year. Every new volunteer goes through your onboarding automatically. We refresh the content each quarter and send you a monthly report. It's a training coordinator for your church - not software to manage.

    Don't love it? Keep the writing. Keep the videos. Keep the whole system we built. Walk away as friends. You're not left with nothing - you're left with everything we made.

    P.S. - Five spots, then this pilot closes. You've already tried the Google Doc and the platform. They sit unused because building this yourself takes time you don't have. So we build it for you - we even bring the crew and film it. You keep all of it. One call from you, and your next volunteer shows up ready. Every volunteer after that, too. About $3,000 of work, for $497, once.
