There have been several books like this over the years, but the bottom line is that different prep should be done for different campuses, and GC has a great cross-section of women with different experiences who help PNM's along the way.

Now, general information about being a good conversationalist is probably helpful, but I would think that could be found in your local library. See, for example, Dale Carnegie.

Not sure how you arrived at that impression.
Perhaps the name SUREsister gives that impression.

^^^This.

And I can't stress enough the art of conversation. I've never met a stranger, as my mother said. Talking with people is enjoyable and will help a PNM not just in recruitment, but in Life in General. Since we're on the subject of books, I'm reading The Zen of Listening and picking up some great points on listening as well as conversing.

FYI, your "book" is downloadable for free. You might want to check out your quality website and referring links. Nothing screams professional like not doing a QA check. You might want to lock that up if you're looking for profits.

For the interested, the "book" contains nothing that would surprise anyone, and honestly, some of the information is wrong, misleading, and just plain hokey.

Lastly, I think it's wrong to spam chapter and I/National HQ Facebook pages with your dribble.

Yep. It's kind of the equivalent of showing up at a sorority house and offering to clean the kitchen if they'll invite you back to pref.
