The five workflows every industry shares
The same five run in all 27 industries. What changes for nonprofit is the overlay: the records, the stages and the words. How it works.
The Nonprofit overlay: Supporters, Gifts, Prospects, Campaigns, Grants. Stages: New Contact → Engaged → Pledge Made → Donation Received → Acknowledged → Stewardship.
Intake and triage
Every call, text, email and form becomes a prospect on the supporter's record, with who, why and the next step. A fixed ladder of rules sorts it before any model is asked.
Touches: Opens the gift at New Contact.
Follow-up
Moves each gift forward and writes down why each move happened. Chases the gifts that have gone quiet, and stops when a person says stop.
Touches: New Contact to Stewardship, one stage at a time.
Scheduling
Books the visit, call or appointment on the calendar and on the gift, sends the confirmation and the reminder, and reschedules when the supporter asks.
Touches: The calendar and the gift.
Quoting
Prepares the quote from your price book or template, sends it once a person approves it, and follows up until it is answered.
Touches: Prospects and the gift.
Reporting
Each day, what each agent did and what it proposed, built from the log of every action it took. Nothing is reported that was not recorded.
Touches: The record, read back to you.
