As we approach the festive season now is a great time to call. I aways remember when I worked for companies as an employee and the days leading  up to the Christmas and New Year break rushed by, there was always the belief that people did not want to talk to us,  as they were enjoying their parties  or thinking about going away. Firstly how can that be said “for all people” as we are all different and I am sure in many different circumstances. Secondly even if it is the case , it is a great time to acknowledge their world by saying “I know you do not want to meet up or speak to us now but how about getting a date in the diary for the first or second week of January.?” That way you can fill your diary with appointments or telephone meetings for January and that of course is assuming they do not have a need to meet up with you now!!
