Yes, I use "Contact Management" in PP. It's very easy to type in little notes to summarize what you talk or leave a message about. You can also enter dates to remind you to call about various reasons. This is all I've ever used with the exception of a notebook for my recruit leads where I devote one page per person (or staple the drawing slip to).

Yep, I staple the drawing slip to the page and jot down any conversations we ever have about the business. Or I jot down personal stuff about her so I can remember things like kids, family, what interests her about PC, etc. If I have a lead that wasn't from a show and she doesn't have a drawing slip, I'll just write the name at the top of the page and do the same thing....jotting down notes, dates, times, etc.marionwilliams said:
I'll also enter info in PP through the Contact Management program if she wants me to follow up with her in three months or something like that, then it'll remind me to contact her. The notebook is helpful so if our cluster ever does a "Sampling of The Pampered Chef" or there's a really cool sign-on promotion, I can just go right through the book and contact everyone easily.

Hi there! As a fellow Pampered Chef consultant, I can definitely help you with tracking your customer care calls. While there isn't a specific log or feature in PP for this, I personally use a spreadsheet to keep track of my calls. I include the date, customer name, reason for the call, and any follow-up needed. This has been really helpful for me in staying organized and making sure I follow through with any customer requests. I also know some consultants who use a notebook or planner to jot down notes and keep track of calls. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions. Happy cooking!
