What is phone: Definition and 200 Discussions

When is the best time to call customers that have not told you what's the best time to call? My best time to call is in the AM, in the afternoon I have kids homework, activities, dinner, etc... And so I think customers are doing the same so afternoons are a bad time... What do you think? What...

Today I made six live contacts 2 were actually in person, the other on the phone and the whole time I felt so nervous and after no success I feel so discouraged I even had my script written down inside my notebook, which I thought was really good, but maybe not.. let me know what you think...

I tried to call my Jan. 24 host tonight only to find that her phone was disconected! I am very upset .. this is the latest in a series of personal trials. I have her snail mail and e-mail addresses so I might try to contact her ... but I'm not holding out much hope!

So I had a revelation last night. I've been super busy and have been using that as an excuse to not make calls and really work my business. It doesn't take very long to make a few phone calls at all. I've been terrible about picking up the phone to get my mystery hosts for the only thing I'll...

Just got the phone call from Marla :) about attending Spring Launch meeting. All attendees will get SB cookbook, 25 spring minis, new spring product, and more surprises! There may have been more but I listened rather than let the machine get it so I can't replay the message. I'm already...

Ok, maybe I'm just blind today, but I can't find the phone # to give a cutomer to call about an exchange. I usually handle all returns and exchanges for my customers. Even for items they didn't purchase through me. But, one of my host's moms (who lives out of state) wanted to know about a...

What's up with a host that I am assuming wants to cancel her show, but won't call or email me? Her show is scheduled in one week, she never got me her guest list or will return my calls. I've left her a few phone messages in the past ten days with no luck. So last night I called and left her...

Well I got a call from HO today, but my DS answered it:rolleyes:!! Of course he didn't even wait to listen to the entire recording. He said it just said somethiing like great job selling $150 in the past three months. Anyone know exactly what it said? Thanks,

I am making myself sick! Had every intention of making calls today - nothing crazy just 3 and I knew I would be so proud. I planned on coming on CS to brag about doing it and how easy it was...but here I am at 8:59...too late to call and SOOOO mad at myself! What is wrong with me! I must...

So, I am one of those, like most of us, who hates the phone! I get so scared by what the person on the other end will say...I've had a few rotten-human-beings on the other end, and it isn't a pleasant feeling- as you all know. But today, I just made two customer calls....Not really...

I call it the knight on the white horse with roses call... as in your knight on the white horse knocks on your door and asks you to marry him... "Hi this is Kathy. I was given your name by my cousin Jackie. She is going to be calling you to book a show. I want to sign up to be a consultant."...

I just can't do this! I'm struggling so hard today. I have my Fall Customer Appreciation Event on Monday and I'm supposed to get my director a head count for this. (It's a shared event w/ my local clustermates and my director) I need to give her a head count by Friday. So today I'm calling...

For those of you who have cell phones, which company would you recommend? I have all my PC marked with a land-line phone. We may be moving to another city, which I could only keep my number if I have a cell-phone to transfer my number to.

Hi When making phone calls get get bookings (especially if you are fairly new). What do some of you say? Is there a phone script or scripts that you use? I would appreciate all the help I can get. Thanks Rebajoe

People ask me all the time at my cluster meetings what it my secret for booking shows.... and it is the 3-2-1 plan! I have been making alot more phone calls and it has paid off big time. I do have one problem though, I can't seem to contact 3 people a day. I call tons of people but get lots...

My hairdresser let me leave old catalogs and business cards at her shop. So far I haven't had anything come from that. Last time I went in for a cut, she asked if I'd gotten any bites from it. I told her no. She was surprised cause she said that some people did in fact take my info. So...

I'm so excited. Here I kept feeling like I was pulling up the same names in my contact list over and over again and feeling like I'm at a dead end. Well, at conference one of the speakers gave the idea of making "Yearly Check-up" calls. Hey, it's never to late for customer service! So I...

Lately (ok this year) I have been in a slump and have not been good about 3-2-1. Tonight was my only night without any plans or obligations, so I was torn between making calls and zoning out in front of the TV. So I compromised - watched Next Food Network Star and then told myself I'd just make...

What's the best way to exchange cell #'s w/ everyone?

I have customers who want to call me to book a show-either I met them at a show and they did not have their calendar with them and/or want to pencil in a date, or I met them earlier in the year and they want me to call them in June (or a specific month or time) to set a date for their show. I'm...

My neice is currently in basic training. My sister asked if I knew of any phone cards that don't have a surcharge to use at a pay phone. I know the ones at WalMart do. I thought I would ask here to see if anyone knew of a good phone card that wouldn't automatically take out 20 or more minutes...

I just had an interesting phone call... Someone from H.O. just called to remind me that I had achieved 1/2 off conference registration with my sales in April. Love that they are looking out for us! Unfortunately, I can't attend conference, but I think it's cool that they're calling people!

I just need to vent for a minute. I really am frustrated w/ making calls. No matter what time of day I call, I get machines. Here I am at home ALL day long and whenever I try people no one answers. I have children climbing all over me and making noise most of the time during the day, so my...

I want to expand my fundraiser and go into salons and different offices around where I live, I want to call first and I would like your opinion to see if it sounds good or maybe tweak it a bit to make it sound better. So here it goes: Hi, my name is Karina and I'm a pampered chef consultant...

Okay, I hate the phone. :yuck: I admit it! I procrastinate making calls. But I need to make some calls! I've listened to some training about it lately, but I still have these questions: I get so discouraged when I finally get up the courage to make the call and I get a machine. So I...

This Saturday I have the optition to upgrade my phone. I need and want a NEW one. I have been looking at a couple but still need some help picking the one I want. My husband has the iPhone. I like it alot, but the only thing I don't like about it that it has a touch screen keyboard. I wish the...

The one time that I'm totally motivated to make calls, have several people to call and recruit leads to get a hold of, I lose my voice! The doctor warned me not to strain my vocal chords too much and I have 5 shows coming up starting on Friday. So for the next few days I'm going to take it...

Now what do I do?!! It won't work now. Will it work when it dries out? I'm so mad at myself. I usually check pockets and everything, I can't believe I didn't check them. I was just trying to hurry and get things done, I have 6 loads I'm doing today. Ugg! :(
