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!

Thanks for the spank! I'm getting off my duff right now and doing some calls. I need $200 more in sales to get $15,000 before year end. Some 2008 shows would be great too.

Please dont wait for them to call you. You'll be waiting in 2008 to get that call. Call them and ask if you can help them with their order. Then you may be able to convince them to book a catalog show, because you've offered great customer care!!

I'm speaking from experience here, so please dont take it as a "chewing out".
Thanks...

Yeah, I know, I know, I could've been a bit more assertive. That may have gotten me more orders, but I just remember how I feel when people want me to order now now now, I remember appreciating time to look and browse before placing my order so... this worked out better for me because it was easy on my conscience :p I do have quite a few people who requested I call them back to place an order on wednesday... hopefully that will go well enough! We'll see
