PAT BERRY — DIRECT SALES COMPANION
CHAPTER 23: Plan a month of useful content
Starter worksheet for review — October 19, 2026

A content calendar keeps you consistent without making every day a sales pitch. Start with real questions and a useful answer.

1. Choose four weekly themes: understand a need, teach a small skill, answer common questions, and help someone take a next step.
2. Draft a month using the calendar starter. Verify claims, image rights, and examples; label invented illustrations.
3. Schedule only approved pieces. Leave time to reply, and adjust the calendar when people show you what they actually need.

Direct Sales application
Use approved product information, practical questions, and customer-care topics. Do not invent testimonials or earnings stories.
