Why is your sampling frame important with respect to your ability to generalize your results beyond your sample?

What will be an ideal response?

Your sampling frame includes all the potential respondents you could contact. If you don't have a complete list of your population, it is impossible to define a method that would lead to a probabilistic sample. Such a sample requires knowledge of the population. Without a probabilistic sample, you don't know to whom you can generalize.
