I know this is almost a year old, but are you still willing to send out the script? I just got in contact with Kathie over at postcalls and I'm setting up an account, but I was hoping for help with what to say! TIA!

Hi this is Kelly McNamara with The Pampered Chef. I am calling on behalf of Kim White to remind you about her special Soup and Slippers Show that is coming up this Saturday evening, January 19th at 6:00 PM. We will be having a fun girls night out that will include our Funkiest Slippers Contest! Be sure to wear your funky slippers for a chance to win! I will be showing you how you can make a delicious and simple Smashed Potato Soup in our Deep Covered Baker. This is one of our newest stoneware items and it is a MUST HAVE for most families. All of our stoneware is on special this month, as well, so you can save 20% on your stoneware purchase! I look forward to seeing you Saturday night! Feel free to bring a friend with you! If you have not already RSVP’ed to Kim, please give her a call at 330-555-5555. See you then!
 
Is there still a referral letter in circulation? If so, would someone pm or e-mail me with it? [email protected]. I have always been afraid people would get upset about hearing from a recording. Also, how do the calls come up on caller ID? Thanks!
 
Kate, can you send the referral letter to me, too? Thanks.

How much time does this take you to do?
 
Sharon...I just emailed you a referral letter!

Time wise, it takes a few minutes. You need to "input" the phone numbers into their system (it saves them for you and you can name the groups...Suzy's show, My Spring Openhouse, etc.) so if you ever need to reuse the same numbers they are already in there for you. Then, you just need to record your message and set it to start calling! You can choose a date for it to call out if you are getting ahead of the game and making your list and recording early. The whole site is very easy to navigate! I still make a script to read off of, cuz the time goes by quickly and I never want to leave anything out! I practice outloud a couple of times and then record it. If you goof up, you can just erase it and start over! Easy peasy lemon squeezy!

HTH

Let me know if you have any other questions!!
