For example, you could have a message like “Hey, it’s Bill R. from Kaplans and I’m looking for volunteers for the climate change march that you’re organizing”. This is an open-ended message that will lead them to think about contributing to your cause or march.
Maybe their friend texts them asking if they want to donate money or give their opinion on something. In that case, you could then message their friend and ask them to forward your message to your buddy.
Remember, you do not even have to mention any names. The more people you reach out to, the more people will think about giving you money or volunteering for your cause.
