What is calls: Definition and 200 Discussions

this was cool! i sat down tonight to do customer care calls for my Jan. 12th show, and i got a potential booking from my next door neighbor! i am so excited!

I wanted to put this in a poll but didn't know how. I am curious to know what day everyone finds there 3-2-1 works best and if there is a better time. So far it seems Monday evening after 7:15 is my most productive time for reaching people. Would love to know everyones thoughts on this. Lorna

Yesterday I got on the phone!!!!! I am starting to do this more. I made 6 calls 3 confirmed bookings, 2 answering machines, 1 call me at a later date. So I didn't think that was all that bad. My February is now full and March is looking up too. I just wanted to share. I was really excited...

My first show is finally delivered and I was wondering...how long after the customers get their products do you wait to make OOB calls? I've about exhausted my call list for bookings, had a few people book at my show, had some friends who were supposed to host flake on me (for my Jan shows, so...

:D I did it! I made some calls, I have gotten 2 machines and 1 husband but at least I am doing it!:thumbup: Its a start. Wish me luck, Hopefully I will get some more bookings. But I do have 1 question: When you do your customer care calls Do you call everyone from the show or select some...

I posted this in another thread, but wanted to make sure everyone saw it..... I made an hour worth of calls tonight -- Saturday (you know, the "maybe later"s, the hosts who cancelled and didn't reschedule and the hosts who held one year ago -- your PC discount is about to expire).... In...

I really needed to sit down and make calls. I wasn't whole-heartedly into it the past few weeks - but last night I knew what I had to do! I made calls and I GOT 3 BOOKINGS!!! Yea!!! These 3 were leads from a Women's show in October and when I called after the show - they didn't want to do...

I just started with PC in Oct, and I haven't quite become accustomed to making calls to book shows. That is the one thing, that I just can't seem to make myself do:( . No because I am afraid, but because I just don't know what to say. I am FINE with friends and family, but I don't know what to...

I used PP to pull up the names of all clients who have ordered Stoneware from me in the past 2 years. I'm sending a flyer to each of them. A flyer does no good unless I follow up with a personal phone call, which I will. I had extra fall mini catalogs, which I'm including in each envelope...

I was just wondering when is everyone going to stop customer care calls before Christmas and when will you resume? My calendar is pretty pathetic looking for next year and I was talking to my sister saying I need to get on the phone. She made the comment that it's getting a bit too close...

WOO HOO! Customer Care Calls DO REALLY WORK! Just made a few random calls, and booked a last-minute show this week! I have a good customer who is dying to get the trifle bown at 60% Off! Big answer to prayers... C'mon ladies and gents, work that business! Make those calls! :chef:

I know I saw a thread around here about this but the last one I found didn't have many responses. I have done 3 craft shows this month and haven't followed up! The first one I did I had people fill out their own draw slips. The majority of them have no's or no answers at all to my...

I feel so dumb doing these but really want to take the busines to a new level so I am sucking it up and making a point to do them every day starting today. Just wondering if ther are any of you who have a script to look over or something quick and to the piont to say.

Ugh, I have started doing this for my shows. It really is a great thing, I can call during the day while most people are at work & leave a message. Something that I'm running into is that some of the numbers I receive from my host are cell numbers. I'm ending up calling people in the middle...

So I have been looking in the Consultant Guide Book and a few other resources to find my answer before posting but cannot find anything difinitive enough for me. I want to use these little calendar stickers in my host packs that says when to pass out invites and call guests to remind them...

I have heard several people talk about Post Calls.com to set up messages for making reminder calls for hosts. I have been doing this on my own, and would like to save some time and have a message sent out instead. I send out all my hosts invites and also do the calls, which I have found to...

Question... does everyone prefer out of box PHONE CALLS or E-MAILS?? I'm much more confortable via e-mail (who isn't) and I would prefer that over calling people but I don't know if the response is as good? Thanks for your help

I think you would agree with me, the best way to move your business forward is by making phone calls. You need to call potential customers.... But often times you sit and stare at the phone—you procrastinate and think of the 537 other things you’d like to be doing right now (and making phone...

I am going to make reminder calls for my weekend host this evening, does anyone have a script they use? I always get tongue tied with this, and end up sounding stupid!!!

I did the CC calls today and finally got to talk to 3 LIVE people. One was in a rush and said to just send a catalog, one is in Idaho and doesn't know when he'll have time to think or even have a show and the other was a great friend of mine who has no time what so ever because her library was...

No calls for me today. I sound like I am in a bucket. I don't know if it is my allergies or I have caught a cold. My head is swimming and I don't think I can make any today. :(

I had a show almost 2 weeks ago. I called the hostess yesterday, she was supposed to be getting more orders. anyway she said oh becky gave me her's but she is in the bathroom I will call you back in a minute. well she never called this was at 330pm. so I call about 7 and left a message. i...

dont know why i never thought of this before(must be that baby brain) did a google search for "pre recorded phone messages" after looking at a cpl that came up the 2 on the first page*make sure u click on canada pages only* look the best, but neither of course list prices :grumpy: but...

Who uses post calls - What are you uses for it and tell me a little more how it works. Or Organization conference speaker suggested it for Big MAC calls and Out of the Box calls and I know other people have used it for show reminder calls Thanks, Kathy

I have a party on Aug. 18th and haven't been able to make contact with the hostess since the time I dropped off her hostess packet. I have left phone messages, e-mails and nothing. I have not been able to go over her packet, help her set a goal, talk about a time change I may have to make...

Last month I decide to put 12 cards on my bulletin board with the goal to have 12 working things. Well, I revised it yesterday: First, I change from large cards to small index cards. They fit in my planner better. Second, I made 31 cards-number of days in August. I numbered cards in...

After coming home from Conference all pumped up and ready to go, what is everyone using for a script to get more bookings in July and August? I would love to hear. (I am really excited about the Fall stuff, but still need July and August booked)

So I cam home from conference with a cold so the last 2 days I have been miserable. I did do some host coaching yesterday and got some invites out but I think I am ready to dive in and utilize some of what I have learned at Conf. I'm thinking of starting arround 11am and calling for about an hr...

I just had to share my good news... I came home from closing out my last party and discovered I was just a little over $20 shy of hitting $3000. So, I was planning to add to it to bump my sales up. Then, I get home, and the phone rings. A girl called to order both the chillzanne...

I assume most of You all have know about the Big Mac Calls! I'm interested in trying this but don't want to go into it blind! I would love it if you ones that make these Morning after calls would give some advice and if you would please tell me basically what you say. Bullet points are great...
