The Conversation – Part V: The Pre-Calling Procedure
Before making the call, you must follow what is known as a “pre-calling procedure”. It not only will guide you through the timing of each call but will also point out ways to manage and prevent common problems encountered during the first call. Preparing the first call is as important as making the first call.
Timing:
1) The first calls should always be made between Sunday and Wednesday.
2) The first calls should always be made at night between 9:45pm and 10:30pm.
Calling at night accomplishes 4 things:
i) She’s more likely to be home
ii) She’s less likely to be busy
iii) She’ll be in a more receptive state
iv) You’ll be in her mind before she goes to bed
3) Never call the very next day after getting a number no matter how good looking they are or how well the approach/conversation went.
Key Points:
Additional Playa Tips:
1) If she told you to call on a specific day, make sure you don’t call on that day.
Troubleshooting:
1) The answer machine picks up:
2) A roommate picks up and says she’s not home:
Note: Don’t talk to the roommate too long; just enough to give her a good impression of you. Going through the above dialogue is enough.

Before making the call, you must follow what is known as a “pre-calling procedure”. It not only will guide you through the timing of each call but will also point out ways to manage and prevent common problems encountered during the first call. Preparing the first call is as important as making the first call.
Timing:
1) The first calls should always be made between Sunday and Wednesday.
- There is a very high probability she’ll be home Sunday thru Wednesday and a low probability she’s already made plans.
- Fri: Mon (or next Sunday)
- Sat: Tues (or next Sunday)
- Sun: Wed (or next Sunday)
- Mon: Sun
- Tues: Sun
- Wed: Sun
- Thur: Sun
- Sunday is the best day to make your first calls because she will almost always be home. Many girls don’t go out Sunday nights because they need to rest and get ready for the week ahead.
2) The first calls should always be made at night between 9:45pm and 10:30pm.

ii) She’s less likely to be busy
iii) She’ll be in a more receptive state
iv) You’ll be in her mind before she goes to bed
3) Never call the very next day after getting a number no matter how good looking they are or how well the approach/conversation went.
- When you call the very next day, she’ll think you’re desperate and have nothing going on in your life. When you refrain from calling the next day you’re telling her you have a life, your busy, and your time is important.
Key Points:
- When you get a number on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, you can call 2 days later on the specified days above if you haven’t established a string of dates yet. If you already have girls lined up, don’t call until the week you want to get with them.
- I recommend not waiting more than 3 weeks before calling. Sometimes it can be difficult to fit them all into your schedule but make sure to call within 3 weeks of getting the number. Occasionally you can call the third week and say you’ll call the following week (this should only be used when you’ve been booked for the last four weeks because it goes against additional playa tip #2).
- Never go more than 2 weeks without getting new numbers. Keep fresh numbers coming in so the supply never goes dry and the process continues smoothly.
Additional Playa Tips:
1) If she told you to call on a specific day, make sure you don’t call on that day.
- Her: “Call me (tomorrow/day of week) ok?”
- You: “Ok…I’ll try to”.
- Don’t just say: “Ok”…because if you don’t call that day she’ll get the impression that you are deceitful and it will be harder to build trust.
- Saying you’ll “try to call” will put you in control of the situation and there won’t be any hard feelings when you don’t call her on that day. Call her the day after she told you to, only if it lands on one of your calling days.
- They have to wonder if you will call them or not. If you told her you were going to call her, it takes the challenge and mystery right out of you. You have to keep them guessing and thinking about your first call.
- All you have to do is call your phone company and tell them to block your number from appearing on outgoing calls. Most girls have caller ID so they know who calls, when they call, and how many times they call. When you get your number blocked, she won’t be able to figure out who’s calling.
- Note: This doesn’t mean you can call more than once a day or call her everyday until you reach her, blocking your number will just add an element of mystery to the call.
Troubleshooting:
1) The answer machine picks up:
- Don’t leave a message. The first time on the phone must be live.
- Never call back on the same night or the next night; always assume all girls have caller ID.
- Call back on one of the calling nights.
- Follow this procedure until you reach her.
2) A roommate picks up and says she’s not home:
- Roommate: “Hello”.
- You: “Hi, I’m calling for <her name>?”
- Roommate: “She’s not here right now” …. (at this point she might ask who you are if she hasn’t yet and/or she might say)… “Can I take a message?”
- You: “Well who’s this?”
- If she didn’t mention her name say: “What’s your name?”
- If she didn’t mention she was her roommate say: “Are you her roommate?”
- Roommate: <she answers>
- You: “Oh yeah?…ok well let me leave my number with you.”
- Roommate: “Ok”.
- After your done giving her your number say: “It was nice talking to you <roommate’s name>…(pause to give her a chance to reciprocate the statement)…bye”.
Note: Don’t talk to the roommate too long; just enough to give her a good impression of you. Going through the above dialogue is enough.
