Ideal model: benchmark indirect conversions
---------------------------------------------------------------
This makes your missionaries go with the influentials for their initial
conversions. Missionary success is measured by subsequent indirect converts.
Restart your benchmarks from zero, i.e., don't match these against measures
recorded when converting non-influential people. Overhaul your measures and
methods.
This is the right measure, for these reasons;-
Influence
-------------
Political influence
------------------------
Become expert and making missionaries of connections to government and
politics, whether to current or former politicians.
Personal strengths: Persuasiveness, connections.
Governmental strengths: Constitutional, police protection.
Religious influence
---------------------------
Converting the top of the religious pyramid leads to
Better understanding of the conversion process
Prestige with potential enemies from the existing religious
powers
Security
-----------
Political and religious influence & connections leads to more security
(even longer lifespans) of converts & missionaries
More efficient conversion
-----------------------------------
Politically & religiously influentials are more likely to convert
efficiently.
Please forward this to groups engaged in areas where there is violent
backlash, and or ineffective effort (too long, too much work).
