Basic ToolsBasic Tools• The basic tool set in this presentation is used to

help with “Identification”• Two Ladies Chain (relationship changer)• Right & Left Thru (sequence changer)• Equivalents of these “tools” are valuable for

creating “variety” in calling• The next CRaMS presentation will focus on

“Conversion” which will give you the ability to freely move from one location to another and will contain additional tools called “Conversion Modules” also known as “Magic Modules”

Basic ToolsBasic Tools

• Right and Left can be used to change sequence (in to out/out to in).

• Two Ladies Chain can be used to change relationship (physical to visual/visual to physical).
