Plan Appointment Setting Campaigns BEFORE Promising Seasons

Financial planning is no stranger to preparation. So when it comes to appointment setting, it is only natural to start planning already even before the start of a promising season. Economic storms and doomsday predictions are not the only things you can brace your business for. A season of opportunities will not also be as fruitful either if you do not have an idea on how to start taking advantage of it.

The challenge is to differentiate this from counting your eggs before they hatch.

Planning Lead Generation VS Starting It

The first thing you need to remember is that planning is not the same as actually doing. And unlike taking action, the sole value of planning for your financial leads lies in not costing as much as when you are pursuing them. The best part is that a good plan is the one that guides that action when the time finally comes.

Plans do come with their typical downsides though so make sure you take note of them and set proper countermeasures:

• Plans should be based on fact – Having an uniformed plan is no better than just doing things without thinking. Make sure you have indeed made a decent use of your financial expertise to make these predictions. If you do not want to count eggs that will not hatch, make sure you have at least enough proof of those that will. (And as a side note, this does not just apply to seasons but even to areas or markets that seem more promising than others.)

• They should be easy to adjust – Despite the facts though, they are not always set in stone. Sticking too hard to a plan that is just not relevant anymore is a popular reason why some people are not fond of too much planning. Your financial appointment setting strategy should not have to be so static. Changes in the economic wind are also something you need to prepare for.

• Is time sensitive – The main element of planning and appointment setting is time. Taking some time to plan ahead is much better than wasting it via coming up with a plan on the fly. The very purpose of setting appointments is to give people to get their own plans in order. In either case, you are arguably more concerned about time than about money. Another thing you should take note is the amount of time you spend qualifying your leads. Make sure the process does not fall behind and compromise you planned schedule!

There is no point in a promising financial forecast if there is no order to the things you do when a promising season finally starts. Doomsday predictions can cloud judgment with hysteria. But on the flip side, their prosperous counterpart can accomplish the same with hype. Plan before the start by getting the facts straight, be ready to adjust, and manage the time of your business lead generation campaign!
