You might start out by running a non-exit relay, to get them used to
the idea? They really shouldn't complain about that at all, but maybe
they will and all of your conversations will go more smoothly if that's
your starting point. Once you're making progress, you can tell them
"and later we can talk about making it an exit relay".
