Print this list out. Send it to your competition. Then, get on the telephone.
Prospects do conduct business, even during the holidays. Years ago it was possible for a prospect to say, "I don't have my calendar for next year, call me after the first of the year." Today prospects have their calendars on their computers and/or Blackberries and can schedule appointments for next year or even several years out if they are so inclined.
Prospects make appointments before, during and after the holidays, just as they do at other times throughout the year. If a prospect asks you to call back after the holidays, suggest that you "pencil in a meeting for after the holidays." Promise that you will call to confirm it. Do so.
Happy holidays!
