Notebook and pencil or pen
Relax. Be yourself. Demonstrate courteousness, patience, and friendliness.
Speak slowly, deliberately, and with sufficient volume.
Smile and gesture as if the person can see you.
Avoid unnecessary pauses.
Allow the householder to share in the conversation, and thank him for his expressions.
If you are asked a question, repeat it out loud so that your partner can help you find the answer in the Bible, Reasoning book, or another publication. (It is usually better not to put the caller on speakerphone.)
Do not mention the donation arrangement, as this could be misinterpreted as a form of telephone solicitation. At an appropriate time after you have met the householder face-to-face, you may inform him that our work is supported entirely by voluntary donations
If the householder shows interest, ask for the contact information (e.g. phone number/email address) and reply to them within 2-3 days

“Is there anyone who can speak English?” If there is no one who can speak English, kindly ends the conversation.
“I’ll make a note of that, and we will endeavor to honor your wishes,” and discontinue your presentation. [A dated note with the name of the person should then be included in the telephone witnessing remarks.]
