Name, address, phone number \u2014 a thousand of them. That single number decides whether July and August are your best months of the year or your usual excuse-making season.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u201cSummer is slow\u201d is a story you tell yourself<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let me kill a myth right up front. Any mythology about summer being slow just means you\u2019re not working your ass off. The families didn\u2019t go anywhere. The kids are out of school with more free time than at any other point in the year, and the parents are actively hunting for things to put them in. Summer is one of the easiest lead-generation seasons on the calendar \u2014 if you\u2019re out there beating the bushes instead of sitting in your office waiting for the phone to ring.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mission number one: a thousand leads over the summer<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is the target I always strove for: a thousand or more new leads collected over the summer. A real name, a real address, a real phone number, a thousand times over. That sounds like a big number until you break it down. If I run ten events and each one produces somewhere between 75 and 150 new names, I am already there. Ten events across ten or twelve weeks is not heavy lifting \u2014 it is a couple of promotions a week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And the opportunities are everywhere you look once you start looking:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Movie theaters.<\/strong> The kids\u2019 slate runs all summer \u2014 Minions, Toy Story, and at the end of July a Spider-Man movie that is essentially guaranteed to be a monster hit. That is a ton of family traffic walking past a table you could be standing behind.<\/li><li><strong>Fairs, carnivals, and farmers markets.<\/strong> Every town has them, every weekend, all summer long.<\/li><li><strong>Concerts and movie nights in the park.<\/strong> Not the AC\/DC tour \u2014 the family-friendly stuff. Shopping centers and parks run these on a set weekly schedule you can book weeks out.<\/li><li><strong>Holiday festivities.<\/strong> The Fourth of July is just the start. You have everything from July 4th straight through Labor Day, and everything in between.<\/li><\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are somewhere brutally hot in July, the events just move indoors where the air conditioning is. The kids are still out of school and the families are still looking for something to do. Everywhere has a ton of this activity. It is relatively easy to find \u2014 that is the whole point.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The math works even with sloppy summer ratios<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is the part that makes people nervous, so let me handle it head-on. Yes, your summer conversion is going to be a little flakier than it is in September or October. That is fine. Let me use an easy, deliberately sloppy set of numbers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Say I run one big event and I generate 100 appointments. I get 50 of them to show up. I get 15 of them to enroll. Those are not championship ratios \u2014 they are summer ratios. Now do that two or three times over July and August, and I still have really good enrollment numbers in July, really good enrollment numbers in August, and I have barely broken a sweat finding the places to do it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The point is not that summer traffic converts perfectly. The point is that there is so much of it, and it is so easy to get in front of, that even mediocre ratios produce a strong summer.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The real payoff: a database for your back-to-school blitz<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The enrollments you get during the summer are the appetizer. The thousand-lead database is the main course. Because when we hit the back-to-school window, I am not starting from zero \u2014 I am sitting on a huge list of people who already raised their hand.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Starting about two weeks before school is back in session, I run a heavy back-to-school push for roughly six weeks. And I do not mean one email and a Facebook post. I mean saturation:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>A live human being making outbound phone calls \u2014 the most expensive channel, and the most effective.<\/li><li>A series of text messages inviting people in.<\/li><li>A blizzard of emails inviting people in.<\/li><li>Four to six direct-mail pieces \u2014 at least one a week for that six-week stretch \u2014 to really, truly saturate the list.<\/li><\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And I am not only working the fresh thousand. I am also going back to everybody who raised a hand since the beginning of the year: everyone who opted in on the website, everyone who came in for an intro and didn\u2019t enroll, and everyone who enrolled and then disappeared in three months. Depending on the size of the list, I might go back a year. I might go back two.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How far back I reach depends on the cost of the channel. Live callers and direct mail are expensive, so I prioritize those by recency \u2014 the most recent hands first. But email, text, and ringless voicemail are cheap, so I will happily reach back two, three, even four years on those. The bigger the list, the more of it will be dead \u2014 but a slice of it will always be alive, and that slice is free money.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get the pieces in place in July<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is the trap. Everyone wants to run the back-to-school blitz in August. But to hit that season super hard, you have to have all the pieces in place in July. The direct-mail pieces designed and ready. The phone scripts written. The text and email sequences loaded. The events booked. The list being built right now, week over week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And know your dates. For most schools, back-to-school lands around mid-August, but some districts \u2014 including plenty in Canada \u2014 don\u2019t go back until late September. You cannot time a six-week run-up if you don\u2019t know the day the run has to end on.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So that is mission number one: generate a thousand leads over the summer. It guarantees you a big July. It guarantees you a big August. And it hands you a huge database to work coming into the biggest enrollment season of the year.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Want help building your summer lead machine and your back-to-school blitz?<\/strong> Call or text <strong>1-720-256-0208<\/strong> for a FREE 1-hour strategy session with Stephen Oliver &amp; World Champion Jeff Smith \u2014 30 minutes with each, real actionable steps, not a sales pitch.
