Where do I go with a missionary moment?

This is the moment I have been waiting for. My friend just asked me why Mormons believe we lived before this life. My missionary moment!
In the next 5 minutes, I laid out on paper the entire Plan of Salvation from the moment God introduced it in the premortal existence to the goal becoming like our Heavenly Father and living with him again. I blew her mind with awe for God's plan. I could see her joining me on that path to follow Christ. Yet to this day nothing in her life has changed in that direction due to that great missionary moment. I didn't fail to explain the doctrine to her, but something was missing from our gospel discussion.
Since that time, I have begun to serve as a full time missionary. I have gained an understanding on how someone goes from that first gospel conversation to joining the church trying to endure to the end.
Phase one: Our member missionary moments. These gospel conversations reignite our fire for member missionary work as we get the opprotunity to explain the truths we hold dearly. This prepares our friends to receive the gospel.
Phase two: Missionaries teach the Restored gospel of Jesus Christ. The people that have been prepared through past gospel conversations now are receptive and go through the process of gaining a testimony of their own.

Phase three: Baptism and enduring to the end. I always see this vista of a person's life changing by their reception of the gospel. They forsake bad habits and become a disciple of Jesus Christ. One day they will be dressed in white in the Celestial Kingdom. It is amazing to think that their path started back on that simple missionary moment I had with them.
I know that the path from phase two to phase three is straightforward. I spend a lot of time and effort as a missionary preparing those I teach for baptism. The path from our missionary moment to the person meeting with the missionaries is not so clear. In the good old days missionaries would just knock on everyone's doors and those who were interested would let them in. Today it doesn't work like that. Our culture has changed.
When I knock on a door as a missionary, I have learned something. People today don't like their doors being knocked. Even if they want to hear the gospel, the fact that it is coming by strangers knocking on their door turns them off. These people who have been the recipient of so many missionary moments and gospel conversations then reject what all of that was leading up towards simply becuase of the way it was introduced.
How do those God has prepared meet with the missionaries?
I ask them.
I know this person is prepared, we were led to have a gospel conversation. I see the vista of them receiving all the joy of the gospel. My missionary moment needs just one addition. I need to ask my friend to meet with missionaries.
The chasm between the gospel conversation and them receiving the gospel is bridged. I see the great view, but now I also see the bridge to get them there. I go into every gospel conversation with a goal in mind, and a plan to get there.
