The best time to call someone after mailing them a Pampered Chef catalog is typically about 5 to 7 days after they should have received it. This gives them enough time to look through the catalog while still keeping the information fresh in their mind.
When you call, start by asking if they received the catalog and if they had a chance to look through it. You can then highlight a few of your favorite products or any current promotions, and ask if they have any questions or if they’re interested in placing an order.
If someone hasn’t received the catalog, express your concern and offer to send them another one. You can also provide them with a digital version of the catalog via email or direct them to your website to view the products online.
If the person expresses that they are not interested, thank them for their time and ask if they know anyone who might be. You can also offer to keep them updated on future promotions or new products, so they can reach out if their interest changes.
Yes, following up with everyone you send a catalog to is a good practice. It shows that you care about their experience and are available to answer any questions. However, tailor your approach based on their previous interactions and interest levels.
