Ask if they know of anyone who is. This accomplishes two things quickly. 1. You've not put them on the spot, 33.2 seconds after knocking on their door. They appreciate this very much. 2. It could turn out to be twofer for you. They may actually know of someone beside themselves, AND it could be your lucky day, as they were just talking about it last night during dinner. I knocked doors for just over two years when I was on the home side of the biz. This approach worked so much better than directly questioning them it wasn't funny.
