- Use your own personal story of why you chose to get involved
- Listen to voter’s concerns
- Good communication requires being a good listener
- Reassure them that you are
a neighbor and a volunteer
- Volunteers and neighbors are most effective in engaging likely voters

principles are relevant and important in regard to today’s issues
- Use simple language
- Be sincere, truthful, and genuine
