of human interaction... even

too passive
“I may be wrong but what if we try a new approach? I
was thinking, you know, maybe we could, um, find a partner or something,
you know to help us grow our mailing list. Maybe I could call a few people that I know. I
don’t know, what do you think?” kie josiuel lk asj kdi ko oudu lki, reit

aggressive
“That idea is no good, forget it. We should find a partner and tap into their
list. I know a few and I will start calling as soon as we
finish.”
93
just right
“One way to grow a list is to partner with others
and offer a benefit in return. I know a few I can
call. Thoughts?”
