=== Commitment ===
This is the actual sentence where you ask for commitment to action. Ask in concise, plain, and specific language. Try to use a direct question such as, “Can you come?”.

Tip: The best hard asks have commitment sentences that have a) the fewest words as possible in them and, b) end in an actual question mark if you were to write it down.

* Example of an ineffective ask: ''“Would you be interested in coming to a meeting at some point to meet the team and talk about how you might want to get involved?”''
* Example of an effective hard ask: ''“Our next team meeting is next Wednesday at 6pm at Noor’s house. Can you come?”''
