60-Day Strategy
60-Day Strategy
Lead with excellence on this mentorship journey!
YOU are the key to success of men engaging in intentional mentorship, where accountability and goal-setting become the bedrock of a man’s faith. Without your leadership these mentorships often grow stale and the potential God-given opportunity is lost. Men of Iron equips you, a leader among men, with the resources needed to invite, lead and exponentially grow this community of men under your care.

Days 1-5
Establish Launch Date, Promotion Dates & Build Your Team
- Build a team of 3-4 “mentor directors.” These are men who check in with mentors every 30-60 days to make sure mentorships are staying on track. These men should also serve as mentors.
- Establish a launch date to host the Strong27™ Mentorship Training Camp (MTC). Determine if the MTC will be led by Men of Iron’s staff or facilitated by you with MTC videos.
- Determine when and how you will promote Strong27™
- Example 1 – Host a men’s event and promote mentorship as a next step
- Example 2 – Use all communication avenues available at church
Days 6-10
Promotion
- Use menofiron.org/promote for tools to promote Strong27™. Providing the link to this page or sending links to individuals will explain the mentorship experience. You are also provided downloadable social media and printable content.
- Church Partners – We recommend an announcement be made in front of the congregation for at least 2 consecutive weeks. If announcements from stage are not possible, then a video to the congregation is another option. Compliment the announcement or video with a table, sign-up area or clear directions to sign up.
Days 11-35
Mentor & Protege Commitments
- Getting firm commitments from men will take multiple attempts (phone calls, texts, emails, etc.). Personal phone calls from a respected leader is the most effective strategy. Only rely on emails as a follow-up to a phone call.
- Follow-up emails can include promotion tools from menofiron.org/promote
- Men of Iron has experienced greater success in mentorships when an invitation is initiated by a mentor to a protégé or a protégé to a mentor. Encourage your men to consider this. Use the videos (How Do I Find A Mentor/Protege) from the Strong27™ promote page to encourage approaching mentorships with a bold invitation (Most mentors and protégés will not be willing to do this but are open to mentorship. This is why building a pipeline of mentors and protégés to be paired is essential).
Days 36-50
