Maximizing Customer Connections: Tips for Consistent Phone Outreach Success

[Brianne]

I've just set up weekly phone appointments with my director, this Monday will be our second. Her challenge to me has been to contact 20 people by phone every week. Not just make calls and leave some messages, but to talk to a real live person! *gasp!*

So far it's been going pretty well. I've contacted people from my past few shows and am going through my list of 100 again. It's surprising how many people I'm having to call in order to talk to 20 live people... but that's another issue!

My concern is this: What can I do once I reach the end of that list of 100 and the shows I've done over the past 8 months. (There really haven't been all that many shows due to some family circumstances.) I've ordered a couple of books from the Lemon Aide Lady (thank you for that referral!) and they'll be coming in soon, but I'll be out of names and numbers before then. Any ideas???

Hi there! First of all, congratulations on setting up weekly phone appointments with your director and for successfully contacting people from your past shows. It can definitely be challenging to talk to 20 real live people each week, but it's great that you're making an effort to reach out and connect with them.

As for your concern about running out of names and numbers, one idea could be to reach out to friends and family members who may not have attended your shows but could potentially be interested in your products. You can also ask for referrals from your current customers - they may know someone who would love to host a show or purchase from you.

Another idea is to attend local events or markets where you can promote your business and connect with potential customers. You can also utilize social media to expand your reach and connect with new people who may be interested in your products. And don't forget about the power of word-of-mouth - make sure to let everyone know about your business and ask them to spread the word to their friends and family.

I hope these suggestions help and good luck with your future phone appointments! Keep up the great work and don't be afraid to get creative in finding new ways to connect with potential customers.
