The weeks after Christmas and
New Year’s are always a slow time in my business. It always has been. The phones go quiet and there just isn’t as
much activity as usual in the office. The
business has been slow for some time and you would think I wouldn’t notice a
slow down but I do. I find myself asking
all the “What did I do wrong” questions during this period each year. I shouldn’t, I know, but I do. It’s the quiet that gets to me. I find it difficult to focus on the tasks I
do have at hand and a challenge to make the phone calls I need to make or the
contacts that must be kept alive. Still,
I make myself go to the Chamber of Commerce meetings and mixers and get out as much
as possible in the community.
Of course, now that the
holidays are over the just aren’t as many functions to attend. It seems as if everyone simply pulls the
covers over their head and doesn’t want to get out of bed. Until the first or second week in February
there isn’t a lot of action around here.
The AT&T Pro-AM golf tournament is scheduled for the second full
week in February and that always brings a lot of people to town. And with the people comes a more vigorous
social and business scene. I’ll be so
glad to see more people getting together in more places. That’s where a lot of connections are made
and how we work to bring in more business.
It may sound silly but mixers, meetings and seminars are our life
blood. It’s the interaction with other
business people that keeps our name on their minds and hopefully they will think
of us when someone needs design work.
So, I’m off to a Chamber breakfast
meeting in just a few minutes and I know we’ll hear a lot about what’s going on
in the community. It makes sense for
these types of functions to be important to our business. It’s why we are members of the Chamber of
Commerce, and Rotary and all the other service organizations to which we
belong. Contacts. They are important and they certainly help
take away the blues during the dark and quiet days of January.
