I was just wondering when is everyone going to stop customer care calls before Christmas and when will you resume?

My calendar is pretty pathetic looking for next year and I was talking to my sister saying I need to get on the phone. She made the comment that it's getting a bit too close to Christmas for that now. I know it's not really, but it got me thinking, when will it be?
 
hmm... I am really bad and I don't usually make customer care calls. (Bad consultant!) But I'm probably going to follow up with people who ordered on December shows to make sure everything arrived and is as they expected. That will be based on when the shows are delivered.
 
I would say stop middle of next week.
 
I am stopping as of now~I have called several people and they just sound crazy when I mention a January show, so I am going to wait until the 28th to get going again!
 
I think I will wait now until after Christmas. I know that I am very busy right now and don't have much time to make these calls, so am thinking of who I would call. I need to call a couple hosts to close out their catalog shows and maybe, like Ann will call Dec guests and check on their orders that have recently been shipped.
 
There are a couple of people I may e-mail, just to keep the lines of communication open. I haven't been too on top of things myself and only have one show for the 6th of Jan. Right now I have to hope the hosts are not too busy to get me addresses so I can send out invites right after Christmas. I've told a couple of people I would call at the beginning of the month to see if we can set a date. I feel like all of a sudden here is Christmas and I'm not even remotely prepared myself!

I am going to call until I get them done. The last thing I want is a frantic customer calling me on the 21 to say that she just opened the back to wrap a gift and something is missing.

Now, to get on the phone.....
