If you want to be the most effective at giving Dawa.

Then I suggest that you buy a book on "How to Sell".

So many brother's and sister's have no idea that Dawa is basically selling your religion.

That you are the sales person; and the non muslim is your customer.

Thus, to be the most effective at giving Dawa; requires learning a few basic sales skills and techniques.

To some extent that may be true; however, there are some limitations as well as differences as well.
For example, in the true example of Prophetic Da'wah,
- we are never to seek wages/compensations for our efforts.
- we are also never to lose sight on the fact that we are not the one guiding, but rather fulfilling a responsibility only, and only Allaah ta'aala guides.
- unlike selling a product, a da'ee towards the deen has to cry to Allaah and ask forgiveness in the night time..

Wallaahu A'lam.
