question to identify those with an interest
in reading a reusable booklet about
wildlife/woodland conservation.

make an
informal arrangement to collect the booklet
another time.

make no attempt
to engage people in a conversation or answer
questions at this stage.
Our

return to
collect booklets left the previous evenings

In all cases,
you ensure that your demeanour is friendly

Polite and
Friendly
You’ll
find that people will be polite and friendly,

in such a pleasant manner.
This side of the
job is rewarding in itself, even if people have
decided not to support the charity!
