| Hi. Is Ms. Smith in? |

| ||
| Speaking. |
| Speechbubble | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
| Ms. Smith, I was talking to a friend, John Doe, a mutual friend of ours, about missions work I am doing in <location>, and John suggested I give you a call. My name is Joe Staffer. Did I catch you at a convenient time? |
| Speechbubble | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
| Not really. |
| Speechbubble | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
| Would later today or tomorrow be better? |
| Speechbubble | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
| Yes, tomorrow afternoon would probably be better. |
| Speechbubble | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
| Great, I will give you a call tomorrow afternoon. |
| Speechbubble | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
| That sounds good. |
| Speechbubble | ||

| ||
| Thank you. Talk to you tomorrow. |

| Hi, Ms. Smith; this is Joe Staffer, the missionary friend of John Doe. Is it convenient to talk now? |
| Speechbubble | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
| Yes, this is a good time. |
| Speechbubble | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
| Great. As I mentioned yesterday, I was talking with John Doe the other day about ministering to <people> and he suggested I give you a call. Did John let you know I would be calling? |
| Speechbubble | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
| Yes, he called about a week ago to say you’d be calling and told me that you’re doing outreach at <location> |
| Speechbubble | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
| That’s right. I’ve recently gone into full-time ministry in <location> with <ministry>. I am really excited to be reaching out to <students, the neighborhood, etc> through our <Church, church plant, ministry>. Right now I am getting together with people like you and sharing more about the vision of what we are doing at <location>. If it’s possible, we could get together sometime this week or next, and I could tell you more about it and you could tell me what you’ve been doing lately. Would that be okay? |
| Speechbubble | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
| I think that could be good. I'd like to hear more about what you are doing. |
| Speechbubble | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
| Great! Thank you so much. My best times are mornings and afternoons, or even lunch. Would sometime in there work well for you? |
| Speechbubble | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
| This Thursday at 11:00 a.m. would be fine. |
| Speechbubble | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
| That would work well. Would we be meeting in your office? |
| Speechbubble | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
| Yes, that’s fine. I’m at 1234 Oak Street, Fifth Floor. Do you know how to get here? |
| Speechbubble | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
| Yes, I’ve been in your building before. Tell you what: I’m writing this Thursday the 5th at 11:00 a.m. in my calendar. Let me give you my number just in case something comes up and you need to reschedule our time. It’s 123-222–2222. Also, if you don’t mind, I’ll give a quick call or a text on Tuesday morning at your office to confirm our time together. Would that be OK? |
| Speechbubble | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
| Yes, I’ll be in; that would be fine. |
