How To Get The Best From Your Keen Reading
1. If you have never called before, ask around and see if a friend can recommend a good reader. Word of mouth is always the best recommendation. Then check the reader’s feedback - surprisingly, some readers with very high ratings have some terrible feedback! They are trading on their past rather than their current performance. Look for feedback from repeat callers who report that something said before has been correct, not 5 stars left by people who are happy because they have been told they are meeting the man of their dreams and winning Lotto!
2. Make sure that the reader you call says something in their advertising about professional ethics. An advertisement that promises 100% accuracy is dishonest – no reader is that accurate. It is not ethical for a reader to (a) demand that you rate them (b) make a death prediction (c) tell you that you have a curse on you, or (d) put you on hold while they “meditate” or “pray” with you!!!
3. Look carefully at the price per minute being charged - higher prices do not necessarily indicate better readings. In fact, the reverse can be true!
4. If you have a particular question, it is often best to ask the reader to look at your special issue right at the outset. Time is money, and you want to get value from your reading. You don't have to tell the reader all the details, but give them a broad outline of the area you want covered, e.g. relationship, job, money, or health.
5. If you have a limited budget, tell the reader right at the outset how much time you want to spend on the phone. But be reasonable - you cannot expect a decent reading in two minutes! The more specific your questions are, the more quickly the reader will be able to give you an answer.
6. You need to talk to the reader a bit. The only connection between you and the reader is the voice energy. Even a few "ums" and "ahs" will help maintain the connection. The very best readings result from a dialogue between the caller and the reader.
7. Keep a pen and paper beside the phone. Make some notes as the reader talks, and when you get off the phone, write down everything that you can remember, before the message fades. The best results come from readings that are acted upon. Life rewards action!
8. Make a note of your reader's name or pin number, as it is easy to forget whom you called once several weeks have gone by.
9. Be prepared to allow some time for what you have been told in the reading to come about. Don't keep calling back every day until it does! You will only be running up a big bill. For the same reason, it is not a good idea to call several readers and get confused by apparently contradictory messages.
10. Unless you have a particular question, three to six months is a good interval between general readings. Some people like to ring at New Year, then again about half way through the year, and perhaps on their birthday as well.
PS: What can you ask about? Practically anything! Don't feel embarrassed - we really have heard it all! You can ask about missing objects or animals, when your house will sell, whether it is a good idea to be looking for a new job, what sex an unborn baby will be, whether there is a new relationship coming up, health.....the list goes on and on......
