Parent’s Numbers:
Hey (friends name), ...chit chat
I need you to do me a favor. Remember that new job I was telling you about? I have an assignment to practice my training material with someone and get their opinion. The people I practice with have to fit a certain criteria, and your parents fit those criteria. (If they ask. over 30 & married). So, I thought they would be able to help me out and give me their opinion. Can I get your home number or your mom’s cell number?

Hey, so I’m working with this company called Cutco and basically what I do is make appointments with parents in the area and show them a quick presentation. I was wondering if you could do me a solid and give me your moms number just so I can give her a call? It would REALLY help me out. Thank you :)

Hi, _________. I have a new job that is offering me a chance to earn some scholarships and I think you can help. Would it be ok to call you?
Or just call through FB Messenger.
Method 2: Text (or snapchat) Friends to get Parents’ Numbers
Hey _______, I need you to do me a quick favor. I started this new job and I’m in this huge contest to earn a scholarship.
All I have to do is a really quick presentation for people who are over 30 years old.
It’s pretty easy to do and your parents are perfect. I have to actually contact them myself and ask them personally about it. Even if they’re too busy to do it, that’s fine. It helps me just to call them and ask.
What's the best # to text your mom?
“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.
