About CMO.Church Growth Accelerator

The core training is the CTA Framework, a lead-generation system for turning an organization's ideas into a pipeline of followers it owns.[2] The group presents it as the method it used to build an email list of more than 700,000 pastors and leaders.[2] Members get on-demand CTA Framework training, community feedback and group calls.[2] The Premium tier adds weekly "Reach Your Next 1,000 Leads" live coaching, and the VIP tier adds private 1:1 coaching with Smith.[2]

CMO.Church places fractional CMOs inside organizations in the church market to grow audiences and get leads, then turns what works into content.[1] Its Engaged Advisory service runs one ad funnel for a client and provides fractional marketing leadership.[1] The agency's site says that if it falls short of 5,000 pastor leads in 5 months, it refunds that percentage of its fee.[1] Smith's bio lists marketing work for Life.Church and on growing the Craig Groeschel Leadership Podcast, and a YouTube channel presents a Create-Test-Amplify Framework for church growth.[3][4]
