How to get ahead during the holiday break?

Question

I left Nashville and travelled to Virginia to be with family for the holidays. I sale distressed properties to investors in Nashville and I am somewhat new to town so I want to grow my investor base. What can I do during the holidays to get a jump start on the new year? Calling and emailing are difficult because people don't want to think about work plus I am not in Nashville anyway.

@Kyle Loganadan I sense the desire to achieve results, and that is great. Consider reviewing any pinch points in your business. What are some things that are always a challenge or take up too much time when really a task should be simple? Perhaps create an excel file with all the contacts you want to reach out to when the new year starts. You can draft emails early and have them ready to go by next week. If you are mailing out letters, have them signed and off for delivery.

If you don't want to initiate real estate conversations with people during the holidays, consider just reaching out and saying happy holidays. Boosting relationships in the business will go a long ways. Even if you may not see a benefit now, in the future you will certainly appreciate it when the right time comes along.

Best of luck!

Thanks Michael, I appreciate the feedback. The email drafts is something I haven't thought of. I just hope the investors I work with in Nashville are as excited as I am to get started again after the new year!
