Before: stock, prices and the answers you will need
A session runs on preparation. Which items are being featured, what stock is genuinely available, what price each will be sold at, and what the delivery expectation is for upcountry buyers. Where that is not decided beforehand, it gets improvised on air, and the discrepancies surface a day later when someone tries to fulfil the orders. Recording the session plan against the products keeps the promises and the warehouse in the same version of reality.
During: capture is more important than conversation
In the moment, the priority is capturing who committed to what. Names, items, quantities and the channel they wrote from, entered as they appear rather than reconstructed afterwards from a scroll of comments and messages. A session that produces a clean list of committed buyers is worth several sessions that produce enthusiasm and no record, which is the difference between live selling as a sales channel and live selling as entertainment.
After: the follow-up window is short
Commitment made during a session decays quickly, so the queue has to be worked within a day or two while the buyer still feels they bought something. Each buyer gets an owner and an outcome, and cash orders route into confirmation before dispatch. What remains at the end of the queue is a list of people who did not complete, which is a far better prospecting list for the next session than a general audience.
