We are already in November and in a short time we will be celebrating the Holidays. Some brief tips to avoid the December bullfights and enjoy a different moment of interaction with our contacts.
Before the holidays we all want to greet friends, clients, potential clients, suppliers, employees, etc. Nothing better than anticipating ourselves and making our efforts positive. Furthermore, we must optimize resources. Planning and doing it early contributes in many ways.
Get started today!
Build or update your list. Basic, right? But many people will notice that their contact list is outdated. Whether you plan to send an e-mail, a card or a gift, or want to generate some encounters, you should have your contact information updated and ordered.
Define a budget. From this you can decide what actions to take. Having a clear budget will help define how many people you will send an e-mail, how many a card, a service or a gift; even more so, with whom you want to share a lunch, a coffee or a meal.
Be creative. Think about the message you want to convey. In cases where you send care or a gift, remember what you have sent previously. Are your contacts expecting the same? If you are one of those who send an agenda every year, evaluate if it is time to change or if your clients count on it. If appropriate, change products, be original.
Finally, the Holidays are a great opportunity to keep in touch, to build and strengthen relationships. Furthermore, it is an excellent time to meet your contacts and avoid business conversations; Find yourself creating a more relaxed and social environment. A good relationship with clients, suppliers and contacts in general will be a plus when you have to talk about business.
Happy Networking!
