I'll tell you the same thing I tell the members in the chapter I advise:

(1) Go into each day with a set of 5-6 memorized questions that you can ask each person. Having a "memorized script" can really help you get over that shyness and get conversations moving but be sure that your questions are open ended so that the member that is recruiting you has to talk.

(2) Listen to what the member has to say. Comment on what she just said or ask for clarification. This gets your interacting with the member.

(3) Don't be afraid to talk about yourself. This does not have to be deep things but what TV shows you watch, where you like to shop, how is your day going, etc. Talking about yourself is easy because you are already an expert and the members will appreciate learning more about a potential new member.
