Robert Scoble links to Lenn Pryor's post on rules of Evangelism. Let me admit first, I am still learning more about evagelism and in's and out's of it and yes I am enjoying it more and more and building up the passion for the whole concept. I have learned something new about evangelism from Lenn's post too, I liked his 6 rules to Evangelism.
Lenn’s 6 Evangelism Rules:
1.) Show and share, don’t preach and sell.
2.) Arm yourself with the facts, not hype or rhetoric
3.) Know thy competition intensely. How can you convince someone of something that you have no knowledge of?
4.) Don’t be afraid to admit it when you can do better. Nobody is perfect, have the confidence that you can do better and move on.
5.) Leave dogma and zealotry at the door, bring conversation, engagement, and follow through to the table.
6.) Share your enthusiasm. Share a vision. Paint a picture. Nothing is more convincing than genuine passion for a realistic and well understood idea (ie demos make the world go round, rhertoric slows it down).
Lenn Links to Guy Kawasaki's 6 Rules of Evangelism, now these rules make sense too, just different point of views, looks I will have to do a bit more research to come to my own conclusions.
But thanks Lenn for making a excellent post, you opened a door of thought in my mind..
