The How Behind Our Approach
16. FAQ
Who is Gloo?
A technology company founded to enhance Champions’ ability to improve lives through personal growth, Gloo is a leader in its
commitment to ethical and accountable data acquisition, usage, and data privacy. In the last year alone, Gloo has driven triple-
digit growth, serving hundreds of Champion organizations across the country.
How do you use data?
Governed by fundamental beliefs and guiding principles of the Gloo Data Trust and using sophisticated tools normally reserved
for corporate America, such as data science, predictive analytics, scientific assessments, personalization engines, and others, Gloo
purpose-builds anonymized data models to inform champions as to how to improve individual lives and the health of their
communities.
Why is this important??
Because champion organizations have been massively underserved by information age technology, especially in regard to
predictive analytics, Gloo determined to make meaning out of depthless data pools, shining the light of prescriptive insight into
people, spiritual formation, generosity and leadership, so that faith organizations can more effectively serve more people.
Gloo’s foundational world-class security, privacy and ethical practices tenable organizations with the explicit grant of right to
exchange data and models to drive personal growth. For the first time, human-focused organizations can leverage a data-
informed, human-centered approach to service.
17. Where does the data come from?
Gloo contracts with Wunderman—one of the largest data aggregators and a leader in the data industry for over 30 years—to
license the data. This data set has inputs on more than 260 million people age 18 and up, with about 2,600 traits on each
individual. A full field guide on our data and sources can be found here.
How do you ensure data accuracy?
Data quality and accuracy are foundational to Gloo’S service. Gloo uses two primary strategies to ensure ongoing data accuracy.
First, we carefully cultivate our third-party data sources by partnering with leading data providers that multi-source data
elements and continually refresh that data. Second, we evaluate all our data sources prior to adding or updating them into the
Gloo foundation —checking the data elements and value distributions to verify accuracy.
How can you identify people with specific propensities, stressors, or addictions?
These models are built by surfacing common attributes found in groups of people with known propensities, stressors, or
addictions. From there, we build an algorithm to identify others who exhibit the same attributes.

Hi, _____. I want to appreciate you for the work you are doing in your community. You know, what’s true in the world today is that there are these amazing organizations, like yours, who exist to help people grow and thrive.
There are so many services you have, and you are serving so many needs, and that’s the problem I want to visit/meet with you about today, is helping you to attract, get, keep, grow and multiply.
And I’ll share before we get started, a little about us - we work with over 255 churches nationwide enabling them to better understand their congregation and communities … to make a stronger impact and change more lives. We do this in some special ways I’m excited to tell you about. But first, I’d love to know YOU.
I’ve done some homework/research and my hypothesis is (share your knowledge of news of the local area, and what you’ve hypothesized about THIS PROSPECT’S priorities/goals. Use where they are located to comment on agreeable news of the area, to establish relatedness. Describe what you know about them, their website, upcoming events or regular programs (ie: Celebrate Recovery) news, wishes and hopes and ask - does this resonate? How am I doing? What’s coming up for you as I mention these…?):
I have talked to enough pastors to know you have some of the same activities, but no two have the same approach. Can you tell me what is uniquely challenging for you?
RESPONSES….
Thank you. Here’s why I’m asking:
Data to inform missions...
This is what we help you do in the simplest manor. If we were to speak biblically, we want to help you know how to enrich by knowing your current people better AND that may be telling you who your leaders or disciple-makers are or who really needs ministering to because they’re showing behaviors of those who ended up getting a divorce or leaving the church. The other side to that, is about increase. So enrich and increase. Increase by knowing your community. Knowing the demographics in and outside of your church. Who here knows that the demographics of the inside of your church strongly influence the appearance of your church from the outside?
Via Mastercard is using predictive modeling to mitigate their risk and identify bad debt so they’ve identify behavioral trends that tend to lead to divorce which in turn drastically decreases the chances of Visa recovering that debt.
Data about purchases, browsing history, location, assessment results and more is available about every consumer in the US.
2X Data every year
Large corporations use that data to build models that give insights into consumer interests, purchase intent and even things like risk for depression, divorce and pregnancy, just to name a few.
Those insights are then used to tailor marketing and sales campaigns to consumers and sell more products.
Used at 90% or fortune 500
2.5 million gigs of data made every minute
To resonate with you: some data that you may be familiar with.
**Read stats**
But we also know, that people have not stopped craving community or spirituality.
Sop, what’s happening? And what can we do about it?
In the case of attendance, as just one example, many churches we spoke to found that people aren’t attending as they used to. More are undecided, more are in need, yet churches can’t always reach people in the way they need to be reached. Churches found they weren’t always “speaking the language” of those constituents they most needed to reach.
So what tools do churches have at their disposal?
The power of their presence, of their desire to serve, surely, and the data in the CHMS that we’re listing here (in bullet 1).
And the CHMS is critical but, here’s the problem - it’s not solving for WHY the people aren’t attending, giving, why we just can’t reach some, despite our best efforts. The data products out there don’t make meaning of the data, don’t give us the necessary prescriptions and insights that allow us to effectively serve more people - to know what people value, understand our city or town, the motivations and attitudes of the people, or their financial health.
(2) When it’s hard to reach those in need, and those who can be of service, churches sometimes ask themselves: is lack of relevance the problem? How can we be of service to more, when our interactions are limited to only those people we see when standing at the pulpit, when sending blanket mass emails, or mass ads that may or may not find the right audiences?
Churches have told us that what they really want is (discuss these topics). Some of these may be true for you?

Thank you. To color in one of these (select one of the next 3 as is to be story slides that may best resonate with the church based on their thoughts…)

Call Strategy Goal is to Agree Need (As Is To Be): To conduct Discovery, ask some of the below. Use what you learn (especially for ministries or attraction goals) to mentally prepare your demo lite, and to start the prospect thinking about their To-Be state.. Use the info you learn to fill in this slide too, as you’ll use it later in your “Call 2: Executive / Consensus Demo.” Seek at least 3 current challenges and align them to 3 ideal situations.
If you cannot qualify the prospect. A. seek an alternate prospect in the account or if the church is not able to be qualified, B. graciously exit and maintain the relationship by asking…
If you CAN qualify, proceed to demo-lite (slides here or a 5 minute login), pricing and next steps.
Ways to get started:
If you were to tell me a little about your church...
What’s true for you….?
Will you help me fill this in?
What are the most important objectives/initiatives for your team this year?
What does success this year look like for you?
What might stand in the way of your achieving these objectives?
What ministries are most important to you?
Who are you trying to reach? For many it’s more people, more leaders, more generosity, more spiritual formation.
How are you doing that today? For many it’s the CHMS, the mass email or flyer, and the FB Ad.
What do you know about your current members?
Ie: Have you taken any congregation surveys? Do you subscribe to data reports?
What types of marketing efforts are you currently utilizing (FB, Insta, Google Ad words, direct mail, etc.)? Have they been successful in your eyes?
Do you currently have a dedicated budget and/or staff for marketing? For specific events?
If so:
How would you describe the effectiveness of any digital marketing campaigns? Are you achieving the outcomes you want?
How many congregants?
Do you have a CHMS? (if not, DQ)
What records does the ChMS contain? Baptism records, attendance records, visitor cards, child check ins, giving records, class/group attendance, event registrations, volunteer placements, website traffic?
If budget is a concern: share how Gloo is helping churches to optimize the spend they do have, because we help you find the right congregants
What would it be like if you were able to increase giving by 1% this year? Or even 5%?
Thank you - this is helping me to frame up how I might best show you the software.

You are our reason. We believe in you, and want to give you the lift you desire. And this is where we prove it out. Based on your identified pain, the burden of proof is on us to demonstrate how we have solved that pain.
Typically, our customers have found that in order to make this decision they:
Want to know that the price point is only $1200 per location. They also want to understand how churches like them typically find budget for this initiative. We find our churches will use their marketing, events, etc. budget…
From there, they want to ensure consensus to work with us, by having a group demo. To arrange that, they prefer to either have me introduce evaluation goals and purpose to those who need to be in the room (typically Executive Pastor, Database Manager, Marketing, Communications Dir) or, they’ll want me to send them materials that make it easy for them to set up the group demo.
While that is being arranged, my job is to ensure I have a clear understanding of your as is and to be, so that I provide you with a great demo.
I then recommend “what it would look like” in that “as is to be” GROUP demo. Lead Pastor,
After taking a look at how we can help meet your goals, you would decide what you think about that.

Some examples to bring the pricing to life:
Example of Direct Mail:
When a church is announcing to the community that they’ve moved to a new building, and inviting neighborhood families to join. Instead of sending a generic flyer to 10,000 households in the area, a data-informed church sent three sets of mailers. One to households who have visited, but do not regularly attend (come back, we’d love to see you again!); one to active members with a specific invitation to join the launch team or attend a preview service); one to people who have never visited with language that speaks to motivations and values.
Chili Night:
A church was aiming to reach their community through service-oriented events. With the help of Gloo, they learned that their community had a high relational orientation when it came to spiritual styles. So, they added a chili night and holiday sing-along, and three times more event was more aligned to the community’s values.
