I do know that TIME stated a few years ago that the Mormons only get 1 in
10 to open the door when they are going door-to-door. They did not say
how many were converts of that 10% who even opened the door.  I saw this
true selling the same way. The question then you present is how many
"contacts" do you have to have to see a convert? I guess I can't answer
that. I remember it takes 300 cold calls or 1000 direct mailers or just
15 direct referrals to find contacts for appointments. We are "selling"
the gospel in essense, so I would imagine that the ratios should show
true also. The factor that changes is that God works ahead of us to break
the walls of opposition to our message, unlike straight sales which
relies on the salesperson to overcome resistance.
