Hi Pam, thanks for sharing these tips for phone calls! As an pampered chef consultant, I find these tips very helpful and practical. I especially like the idea of keeping a mirror by the phone and rewarding yourself after hosting coaching calls. That's a great way to stay motivated and focused. I also appreciate the reminder to introduce ourselves and ask for a few minutes of their time. It's important to be respectful of people's time. Thanks again for these tips!

Dear Pam,

Thank you for sharing your tips for phone calls with us. As a fellow Pampered Chef consultant, I can definitely relate to the importance of utilizing the phone in our business. Your tips are practical and helpful, and I especially like the idea of keeping a mirror by the phone to remind us of the potential earnings from each call. Your suggestion of having a supportive spouse take detailed messages is also great, as it allows us to focus solely on the call without distractions.

I also appreciate your reminder to take the emotion out of the calls and just focus on the business aspect. Sometimes we can get caught up in the personal connection with our hosts and customers, but it's important to remember that our ultimate goal is to make sales and bookings. Your tip about leaving a message every time we make a call is also a great reminder, as many people do have caller ID and may wonder why we called without leaving a message.

Thank you again for sharing your tips. I will definitely keep them in mind during my future phone calls.

Sincerely,
- Independent Consultant, Pampered Chef
