Fall seemed like the best time to start again.  Hello Rain Makers.  We are back after a hiatus of focusing on client work.  Good thing is that our workload is buzzing along as is the case for most of our clients.  Now for thoughts on keeping up the momentum. . .  blog postes and interviews with clients to come!

Fall is a reason to call!

The Fall is a great time to reach out to your clients and contacts to set up meetings.  Here are some wording that several of our other clients are using:

“How was your summer?  With fall starting I thought it would be a good time to reconnect and touch base.  Are you available for lunch on . . .?”

“Somehow this time of year everyone feels re-energized.  I wanted to share with you some things that we completed this summer that may be of interest to you.  Are you available to meet on . . .”

“We are already planning our late fall and winter research projects and white papers.  Since I really respect your perspective on things would you be able to meet me for a quick coffee or lunch next week to share some of your thoughts with me on the issues of greatest concern for . . . companies? 

Think of a good “reason to call” and use it for several of your contacts that you know you should talk to  but haven’t connected with in a while.
