- #5 Kevin reads definitions
- #6 Explanations for the left column are in the article. Richard handles left hand column, Kevin right hand. Speech: Richard – “these are some ways to identify and plan pitches, are there any questions?”
- #7 Each pitch or wrap should have a call for action. It can be a long term commitment or as small as “please provide your contact information” Activity: Pair up with a partner and give them a pitch or wrap. Have 4 people summarize the wrap and the ask.
- #8 Tools for collection of information can be: A pencil or pen (always have something to write with and on…) A form or electronic collection device. An organized way to store the information. An organized method of using the information. Disposing of or archiving information at project completion. The Smart Phone – Photos, #’s, GPS coordinates it’s all there if you have a plan to use it.

- #13 Recruitment and awareness is a two way street. Sometimes, your efforts will be served best by carrying other messages and information than your own. Become known for being involved in what is important to others as well as your own priorities. Make deposits – everyone eventually needs a withdrawal
- #14 The importance of thank you should be stressed. Be prepared to provide examples if time allows.
