People are not sheep and each one has an intense interest in something. We need to probe until we find that interest. When we address the questions or subjects that are on their minds, we will catch their attention. We need to start with where they are , and we can take them where they need to be. This survey is a lot of value to you as well in reaching out to others.
Many people find it difficult to go door to door .
People especially feel uncomfortable going door to door cold turkey . A purpose that will interest and engage a person in conversation. You also have a sermon outline before you of WHAT to say. You don't have to remember a pre-programmed speech. You already have before you what you want to say and questions that will let them do most of the talking which will be an entirely new twist for them.
