I call about 3-4 weeks after the show. I print out the Show Order Summary so I'll know what each customer ordered. Here's an example of what I might say:
Hi, this is Rae, the PC Consultant from Susie's party. I'm just calling to make sure you love what you got from her party. [Wait for the customer's response. Assuming they love their products, I try to add some extra value to something they've bought.]I see that you bought the Garlic Press. Did you know that you can use that for ginger, too?

I always have, but I've started doing them differently. I call just before the show is submitted to thank the customers. And, I ask if there is anything else they need or anything else I can do. Some people add something to their order! 
I give them a call about a month after the show, to see if they have used their products.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are Customer Care Calls in the context of direct sales?
Customer Care Calls are follow-up calls made by sales representatives to their customers after a purchase. The purpose of these calls is to ensure customer satisfaction, address any concerns, and maintain a positive relationship with the customer. In the context of Pampered Chef, these calls can help reinforce the brand's commitment to customer service and encourage repeat business.
How often should I make Customer Care Calls?
It's recommended to make Customer Care Calls within a week of the customer's purchase to check on their satisfaction and offer assistance. After the initial call, consider following up periodically, such as every few months, to keep the lines of communication open and remind them of your services and products.
What should I include in my Customer Care Call script?
Your Customer Care Call script should include a warm greeting, a thank you for their recent purchase, a check-in on how they are enjoying the product, an invitation for any questions or concerns, and a mention of any upcoming promotions or new products. Personalizing the conversation based on the customer's preferences can also enhance the experience.
How can I handle negative feedback during Customer Care Calls?
Handling negative feedback requires active listening and empathy. Acknowledge the customer's feelings, apologize for any inconvenience, and ask clarifying questions to understand the issue better. Offer solutions or alternatives, and assure them that their feedback is valuable and will be taken seriously. This approach can help turn a negative experience into a positive one.
What are the benefits of implementing a Customer Care Call strategy?
Implementing a Customer Care Call strategy can lead to increased customer satisfaction, loyalty, and retention. It allows you to build stronger relationships with your customers, gather valuable feedback, and identify opportunities for upselling or cross-selling. Additionally, it can enhance your reputation as a caring and attentive sales representative, ultimately driving more sales and referrals.
