:D I did it! I made some calls, I have gotten 2 machines and 1 husband but at least I am doing it!:thumbup: Its a start. Wish me luck, Hopefully I will get some more bookings. But I do have 1 question: When you do your customer care calls Do you call everyone from the show or select some? This is what I am not sure about.
 
Good job!As for your question, I call everyone for whom I have a phone number.
 
Congratulations on making those calls and getting some bookings! That's a great start and I wish you all the luck in getting more bookings. As for your question about customer care calls, it really depends on your personal preference and what works best for you. Some consultants like to call everyone from the show to follow up and thank them for their order, while others prefer to only call those who placed larger orders or seemed interested in hosting a show. It's important to find a balance that works for you and your business. Good luck!
