What are Signal Cadences?

Signal Cadences are strategically timed outreach plans that take the guesswork out of donor engagement! When you add a constituent to a cadence, you move them through a series of steps designed to advance the relationship. Each step prompts specific types of outreach on particular days, ensuring you focus on the right prospects at the right time.

Cadences are designed with flexibility in mind! You can add constituents to a cadence regardless of their assignment status, giving you the ability to nurture existing assignments or qualify unassigned constituents. 

You have access to a set of four prescribed cadences in Signal:

1. Book a Meeting
2. Nurture
3. Stewardship
4. Trip Planning 

We’ve developed our prescribed cadences through industry knowledge and collaboration, making them tried and true. These plans are a great starting point for getting comfortable with Signal Cadences, helping you engage constituents with confidence. As you become more familiar with cadenced outreach, you can build your own custom cadences to further tailor your communication! 

Below, we will review each of these prescribed cadences. Let’s get started!
