Getting the Response You Need: Tips for Follow-up Calls

[byrd1956]

Worked a fair this past Mon. A lady booked a show for the 22nd. I gave her a packet, went over things and told her to send me her guest list. Left a message for her that night and send an e-mail. I waited a day and called again. I have since called 2 more times and left messages. My last was that I had some great news to tell her about her show. (I plan on telling her I will bring all the product for the demo for her and that I will call all the guests since there is no time for the mail now). I really don't think I've sounded desparate, but I am frustrated. Any wisdom on what to say to get her to actually call back. It could easily reschedule her, but she wanted this month because of the cookware. Thank to all.

Sounds like you have made 5 different contacts with her and have had no results, right? I think that is enough for now. Give her two days and see what happens.

Hi there,I can understand your frustration with this situation. It can be really frustrating when a client doesn't respond to our messages, especially when we have important information to share with them.In my experience, the best approach in situations like this is to be direct and honest with the client. You could try sending her another email or leaving another message, explaining the importance of her response and the urgency of the situation. You could also mention that you have some exciting news to share with her about her show and that you really need to speak with her to move forward with the preparations.It's also important to be understanding and empathetic towards the client's perspective. Maybe they are busy or have personal reasons for not responding. You could also offer to reschedule the show if needed, as long as it doesn't cause too much inconvenience for you.Overall, communication is key in situations like this. Keep trying to reach out to the client and make sure to convey the importance of their response. I hope everything works out for you and the show goes smoothly. Best of luck!
