[dannyzmom]

Remember my $310 order placed on my website last week? Well phone sissy that I am, I never called the girl. BUT -- I woke to an email from her this morning saying she would like to host a show!! I am waiting til 9am to call her back but already emailed her back saying I'd be calling at 9!!!

Phone sissy, You? I can't imagine....last week you were talking about talking to strangers at the restaurant about PC

Maybe she liked that you didn't seem like a vulture. Not that any of us are! But sometimes when a sales person calls it feels like they just want more and more. I like to be laid back too. I DO email a thank you when I can and wook call but I have a phone thing too... I wish I could make me call more. Need to add that to my resolutions. lol

Congrats!! I hope her personal order is a start of good things to come for you! Imagine if her friends order as much as she does!

LOL...put a wig on, some funny glasses and place a towel over the phone and pretend YOU are a stranger, then talking to them on the phone wont feel so strange!

ROTFL!!! Darby, you are crazy!!!! In a good way of course.

 

[pamperedlinda]

Congrats! Did you ever find out what she was planning to do with all those APCS rods & crocks?

Awsome!! At first I thought maybe it was somebody who wanted to turn around and put stuff on Ebay or something. Good for you hope her show is a big one!

 

[AJPratt]

That is FAB-U-LOUS!!!

I think you need to determine the type of correspondence your customer likes. I have people (including myself from other Direct selling companies) who ABSOLUTELY prefer email. They are a pain to get in touch with, don't like phone calls, etc. But if you email them - I get a response within hours, sometimes minutes. Not that I have a phone fear, but email gives them time to think it over, etc. I usually email, then if I don't hear from them in a few days (when I ask a specific question) then I call. For example, I'm trying to get ALL my February dates set - people who said they want to Host. I emailed my list and heard back from most of them. I only need to call 2 people who haven't responded. If not, I would have to make a dozen + calls! I think it's a neat "accountability" thing to - you can always put a "read reciept" on their email and know when or if they read it! Love that feature! Sorry for ranting...

Joanne: Thats some great advice. I had one recruit that all we did was email! We didn't even get together until she came to our kickoff!

I am definitely an email kind of gal myself!
