Initial contact
- Person says they want to be a guest
- Intake form: send them the intake questions. For now we can do this in whichever medium we’re communicating in already (e.g. Twitter DM) but could formalise this to a form tool or a ‘copy and complete this doc’
- (Currently the scheduling link exists publicly, so someone could go and pick a time without having done intake questions. Longer term I think it should always be intake questions first so we can make sure there’s fit, but for now either order is fine)
- Send them scheduling link
- Follow up if they don’t book in
When it’s time for the call
- Send them the Riverside link
