I've been sharing links to Gary Rohrmayer's helpful posts on Engaging in More Spiritual Conversations. His newest addition provides "Ideas for Practicing the 3 x 5 Rule." From the post...
The 3 by 5 rule is simple: A leader seeks to find 5 contacts a day or 35 a week until they get 3 meetings or sit downs to either share the gospel or the vision of the church. A contact is securing a person's name and contact information (a business card, phone number or email.) A sit down is a follow up appointment with one of the contacts you have generated.
The primary question generated by this rule is "How do you find 35 contacts a week?" There are three sources of contacts we will look at today. 1) Follow-up Contacts 2) Networking Contacts and 3) Cold Calling Contacts.
"Engaging in More Spiritual Conversations" (Part 1, 2, 3, & 3x5 Ideas)
Remember when Ed Stetzer shared this approach with us at the SBC? Nice to see this written out.

Yeah, mentioned that back during your "I don't read blogs anymore" phase. :)

Just had my first evangelism coaching session with Gary today, and we talked through a lot of the stuff from this latest post. VERY helpful. I am really looking forward to growing in this area.
