Crush Your Holiday Sales
Things You Might be Thinking Right Now:• Christmas is so far away, why do I have to think about this now?• I don’t have any information from my company yet, so I can’t really promote
anything.• I’m not sure how to connect with past customers.• Isn’t following up with someone after many months totally spammy?• I really need to turn 2020 around with a stellar holiday sales season.
Congrats, you’re in the right place. Holiday success starts with planning NOW!
October focus is warmup and planning.
November focus is sales.
December focus is last minute sales.
