Build a relationship, assess them, and figure out potential common concerns.
Mobilizing Conversations Prompted conversations that make the ask. Solution Problem Action Goal: Find common concern. Find what is a problem or point of agitation for a person to make link between person’s problem and the solution that leads them to take some action.

1:1 Asks Concrete Asks “We are having a team meeting next Thurs. at 8pm. Can you come and help us brainstorm our March grassroots action?” “We need more doctors giving presentations about the ACA. We’re having a Be An Educator training this Tues. at 7pm. Can you attend so you can help us do the med student presentation at the end of this month?” “We’re in the midst of a critical letter to the editor push. We need to get 10 more letters written this week. Can you write an LTE by this Friday? I can send you our LTE guide, sample LTE, and info on where and how to submit it.” “Can you hand out this ACA Myths & Facts flier to 10 people before the end of this week? Even just getting this flier in people’s hands can go a long way to helping educate people about the benefits of the ACA.” Wishy-Washy Asks “Do you want to join our state team?” “Are you interested in being an educator?” “Want to write a letter to the editor?” “Here’s some fliers you can pass out to people.”
