(12-Week) Peak Season Roadmap - Plus Bonus Material
• Phase 1: Foundation (November) – Build: Owners evaluate the health of their practice using a Business Performance Dashboard to analyze profit margins and SWOT factors. This phase focuses on fixing "broken" technology (billing, security), cleaning the client database, and refreshing the website to ensure the business infrastructure can handle increased demand...
• Phase 2: Engagement (December) – Connect: The focus shifts to relationship building and expert positioning. Key tasks include sending personalized outreach to high-value and past clients, hosting educational workshops, and establishing referral partnerships with complementary professionals.... Owners review these engagement results at year-end to refine their final strategy.
• Phase 3: Launch (January) – Convert: This is "go-time" for maximizing bookings. Owners launch "New Year" marketing campaigns with incentives, prioritize speed-of-response for new leads, and use "last chance" messaging to fill remaining calendar slots.... The cycle ends with a comprehensive ROI analysis to measure the campaign's success against the time and money invested.
Analogy: Preparing your business using this roadmap is like a ship captain preparing for a major voyage. In the Foundation phase, you patch the hull and check the engines (systems). In the Engagement phase, you chart your course and coordinate with other vessels (partnerships). Finally, in the Launch phase, you open the sails and full-steam ahead into the busy season, knowing the ship is seaworthy and the crew is ready.
