Winter Worries

someone may have posted already, (forgive me WR), but has anyone else struggled this month with booking meetings? I've definitely found it to be a hell hole so far with barely any connects or responses from prospects. 


Even some encouragement or stories from others going thru the same thing would help, I know it'll pass eventually, just super fucking stressed

If you're not having challenges booking with prospects this morning, u are blessed. Totally normal. Many people won't even be working the last two weeks of this month.

Literally had zero pickups between yesterday and today. Not even shitposting here. It's been silent, except for the traffic outside

I haven't worked the past 12 weeks of this year...so no wonder people haven't had luck booking with me.

Many people are having to use their remaining vacation banks too.

This time of year is hit or miss.   You'll find you're either scrambling to finish up those last deals, or you're working on getting set up for '22.   I'm currently scheduling meetings for January, as my customers have team members out the next few weeks.   Can you shift focus to booking for January?

Yeah, I've switched to booking for Jan given this is the last real week of work before everyone fucks off until January. We'll see how it goes.

Bro, every Q4 is hard to book since it is littered with holidays and ppl ooo because of that. That's why you gotta hustle hard at the end of Q3 to stack up your early Q4 meeting pipe

I'm two meetings away from quota. I'm usually set, but I'm scrambling like fuck making dials and emails for Q1.

Personally, I'd send email and reference the fact that prospects are typically using up vacation days and not answering the phones.  Then I'd offer to connect after the holidays in order to discuss (insert relevant topic here).  Perhaps you'll find someone in the holiday spirit willing to connect.  Good luck.
