I guess for me it is too important to just leave something for somebody to read.
I don’t know the statistics but after a paragraph it seems most people are done.
If you can feel a person out and try to talk to them— I believe people will listen more than they will read.
I think having ready answers and a good pitch is the best direction.
Gingrich is a good and I wouldn’t feel bashful at all trying to make that sale.
I just need a good framework for it. I’m a worker-bee not a leader. :p
so I think you are saying you want to knock on a door, hand them something, yet undefined, and then start a chat with them about Newt... and have enuf info at your fingertips to answer most of their questions, which is pretty much what I do... either door to door, or through the phones.
So then what should the handout be? You know your state, your town, your neighborhood, what would speak to them most strongly about Newt? One subject, two, three? some people take their laptops with a favorite newt video loaded, and just stand there while the person watches the video, maybe about 3 min, there are millions to choose from... and a vid can really be effective..
I think if it is lively you can get most people through three short paragraphs... but it has to be bright and easy-to-read... Newt has changed the campaign to his 2.50 gas branding, and a lot of people are attributing that to his rise in the national polls starting again...
a phone script sounds like it might be good for you... you get to pick your state, you get a script, and little by little, after maybe the first couple days, you get some confidence and start adlibbing, and your personality starts to shine through. There were 150,000 phone bank calls made in to SC... and Newt felt strongly they were game changers of a sort...
Maybe these few thoughts will be a jumping off point for you... and you can move ahead on your own, or if you need anything from me, please don’t hesitate...
