Starting back after your Christmas break, whether you're taking a one-week, two-week or month-long break, means planning for it NOW.
We're 3 months out, and that gives you the perfect time to start moving clients along their journey with you.
Make sure you're attracting potential clients into your sales funnel
Do you have a lead magnet (a freebie that you offer in return for email addresses)? Is it followed up with an email sequence that nurtures them to book a call or buy a course or package with you? You have time to get this set up and move potential clients towards booking with you.
Are you blogging regularly?
I've not talked about blogging recently, but it still is one of the best ways for small businesses to get in front of potential clients through SEO (search engine optimisation). Make sure each blog has a link to a relevant services page and your lead magnet. Make time in your diary to post a blog once a week between now and Christmas. Share your blog on social media and in your newsletters.
Add a touch of salt
But not too much otherwise it raises blood pressure! What I mean by adding salt is to add a touch of pain to your conversations on social media and in email newsletters. Bread tastes bad without adding a pinch of salt, but too much ruins the mix. It's the same with pain.
What might happen if they DON'T sign up with you? What impact will this have on their lives? Will 2023 have to be the same for them? Or is there a better outcome? It doesn't take much - just one sentence will do. A wee bit of salt reminds people they don't need to put up with bland.
