I received an email from an aquaintance at the college I attend that said she was interested in the business opportunity. I do not have her phone number or else I would call her, so for now, I am stuck emailing her something. The problem I am having is with specific wording. Please help. Keep in mind she is in her early 20's. TIA.
 
Why don't you email her and ask for her #? Tell her it's much easier to have a phone conversation about it than for you to send her info via email.
 
That's what I would do too!

I'm going to ask her for her number so that I can chat with her, but I want to say more than just "Hey, what's your number". Any ideas?
 
...direct her to your website, the changes they've made are AWESOME, also ask for her contact information and mention when you're available over the next couple of days!

Best of luck....
 
I would just say something along the lines of what Deb suggested...

"I'd love to share more about The Pampered Chef business opportunity with you! It would be much easier to answer your questions if we chat by phone, can you call me at XXX-XXX-XXXX or I'd be happy to call you - I just need your number! I'm really excited about starting my business and look forward to sharing it with you!"
