Review

     Latter-day Saint missionaries everywhere will be thrilled with these fresh new dialogues for contacting potential investigators. In addition to more than fifty highly effective, pre-tested contacting dialogues, Dynamic Door Approaches covers a variety of essential topics like introducing yourself, setting appointments, overcoming common objections, street contacting, telephone contacting, captive-audience dialogues, and transitional statements.
     This guide provides appropriate words for tongue-tied missionaries that are sure to elicit interest in the gospel message. All dialogues and recommendations are fully in keeping with missionary standards. They also utilize effective salesmanship techniques in order to spark interest.
     Full-time and stake missionaries will all benefit greatly from Dynamic Door Approaches, one of the most effective tools now available for advancing the great proselyting effort to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ through every nation, kindred, tongue, and people.
