* Don’t always ask for money. Try to be helpful and informative.

* Offer something worth having (this is called reciprocity; the Hare Krishna people know about its benefits -- it’s why they give you a flower before asking for your gift).

* Get a hold of Harvey McKinnon’s entertaining, informative and stunningly simple little book, “Tiny Essentials of Monthly Committed Giving” (www.whitelionpress.com/TinyCommitGive.html).
