Method 1: Go through your entire phone. You probably have more numbers than you think.
Method 2: Calling Friends to get Parents' Numbers
Message them on Social Media if Don't have friends number
“Hey _____! Hope all is well. (Okay to personalize) I have a really quick question but it’s too long to type. Can I have your number and give you a call?”
Call
Hey _______, I need you to do me a quick favor. I’m calling all of my friends right now.
I started this new job and I’m in this huge contest to earn a scholarship.
All I have to do is this really quick presentation for people and get their opinion on something.
It’s pretty easy to do, but I have to see people that are over 30 and work full-time. I was thinking your parents fit that description. I have to actually call them and ask them personally about it. Even if they’re too busy to do it, that’s fine. It helps me practice just to call them and ask them about it.
So who’s easier to talk to, your mom or your dad? Cool, let me get her/his number real quick. It would really help me out. Thanks a lot! Ok I gotta go, but I really appreciate it. This helps a ton!
“They’re Really Busy” or “I’m Not Sure They Would Want To”
No big deal. Worse thing that could happen is they say “no”. I won’t take up too much of their time. So can you help me out?
“What’s The Presentation About?”
I’m just demonstrating some cool kitchen stuff. Like I said, it’s really easy and they don’t have to commit to seeing it or buying anything, I just have to contact and ask them. If they say they’re busy then no big deal. So can you help me out?
Method 3: Ask your relatives.
Remind them that you get paid just to show it and there's no pressure to buy.
