What do you do at your shows to remember to call people about replacement parts.

I used to bring order forms with me but I usually don't have people ask for them.

I had a show the other night, I forgot :eek: to call this lady about a replacement part she needed :o . I got lucky she was very gracious about it and she even booked a show.
 
I ask them to write it on the back of their drawing slip. I use the PC ones and ask everyone to write comments on the back.

Then in a day or two after the show, I go through them and make big MAC calls and can follow up with any other questions or info they need.
 
What I do is...if they bring it up in the middle of my demo, then I talk about it a little bit and then kindly ask them to remind me about it when they "checkout". Once I am sitting down with them, totaling everything up, I will write replacement parts (or something to remind me) on their order form. This way when I enter their order on PP I remember to send them one or followup with them.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are some effective strategies to remember to call for replacement parts during shows?

One effective strategy is to create a checklist of common replacement parts that may be needed during your shows. Keep this checklist handy and review it before each event. Additionally, setting reminders on your phone or using a planner can help you remember to make those calls promptly after the show.

How can I organize my replacement parts requests to streamline the process?

Organizing your requests can be done by categorizing parts based on the product type or frequency of need. You can create a dedicated folder or digital document where you log each request, including details like the product name, part number, and customer information. This will help you track what has been requested and ensure nothing is overlooked.

What should I do if I forget to call for replacement parts after a show?

If you forget to call for replacement parts, don’t panic. As soon as you remember, make the call as soon as possible. Apologize for the delay and provide all necessary details to expedite the process. It’s also a good idea to follow up with your customers to keep them informed about the status of their requests.

Are there any tools or apps that can help me remember to call for replacement parts?

Yes, there are several tools and apps that can help. Calendar apps can be used to set reminders, while task management apps like Trello or Todoist can help you keep track of your replacement parts requests.

How can I communicate with my customers about replacement parts effectively?

Effective communication with your customers involves being transparent and proactive. Let them know about the process for replacement parts during the show and follow up with them after the show to confirm their needs. Use clear language and provide updates on the status of their requests to build trust and ensure customer satisfaction.
