Enrollment Process

If someone declared on line, but we can't reach them:

Suggestion: Stop by unannounced.

The outcome of the visit could be:

  • S/he is home and is happy to go through an overview of the Faith, and s/he is happy to be welcomed… Verify their registration in SRS with notes of the outcome of the visit entered into the database record.

  • S/he is home and is happy to go through an overview of the Faith, and realizes s/he needs more time (or changed his/her mind) and now is a friend of the Faith.… Change their registration to seeker in the database with notes of the outcome of the visit.

  • S/he is home but does not want to talk with Baha'is.… Change their registration to seeker in SRS with notes of the outcome of the visit in the database, and the registration status to “DO NOT CONTACT”

  • Someone answers the door, says that the registrant does not live there… Change their registration to seeker in database with notes of the outcome of the visit.

  • S/he is not home and the team goes back on another day… repeat patiently until one of the other outcomes happen. In all cases, please update the registrant's record with your efforts and outcomes. 

Inquiry Services is under the auspices of the National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of the United States
