The idea behind 3-2-1 is that you talk to 3 people every single day. That said, I don't like calling people Thursday evenings because they all seem to be watching Survivor....but I still do because there's a show on every night that people want to watch!
The only day I really don't do calls is Saturday but that's because I'm normally super busy. I'd do recruit calls on Saturday though.

I do all of my calls around 10am. That way I am done for the day and I don't have to think about this.I sometimes reach people and sometimes don't. I find when I call in the evenings, I get more answering machines than I do during the day. Go figure. Plus, if I don't have a show, the evening belongs to me... I don't want to be working.
Okay what I meant when I posed the question is out of all the days you call and all the times you call which do you find to be the best productive. You see on Mon evening at 7:15 on I reach more live people then any other time or day. Now this study is only a couple weeks old but wondered if others had a better day or time. See I have called at different times and every night and most of the other time I reach answering machines or know one home.

I am consistent in doing 3-2-1, but I can't say that I have found any day or time to be the best....so I just do it when I get a chance throughout the day. I don't make a ton of calls at night, because, like Colleen, I am out with shows 3-4 times a week, and the nights I'm home, I don't like to be on the phone. I reserve my night calls for host coaching, and closing shows. I have found that 5pm is a good time to get a hold of people - just let them know you only want a few minutes of their time!
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Cc Call?
A Cc Call, or conference call, is a scheduled phone call where multiple participants can join in to discuss topics related to direct sales, share tips, and support each other in their Pampered Chef business.
What day of the week is typically best for Cc Calls?
Many consultants find that mid-week days, such as Tuesday or Wednesday, work best for Cc Calls. These days are often less busy than Mondays and Fridays, allowing participants to focus on the call without the distractions of the weekend or the start/end of the week.
What time of day is most suitable for Cc Calls?
The best time for Cc Calls usually falls in the evening, around 7 PM to 9 PM, when most participants are likely to be free from work and family obligations. However, it's essential to consider the time zones of all participants when scheduling.
How can I determine the best day for my team’s Cc Calls?
To determine the best day for your team’s Cc Calls, consider sending out a poll or survey to gather input from team members. This way, you can find a day that accommodates the majority's schedules and preferences.
What if some team members cannot attend the scheduled Cc Call?
If some team members cannot attend, consider recording the call or providing a summary of the key points discussed. This ensures that everyone stays informed and can catch up on what they missed, fostering a sense of inclusion within the team.
