Your 2026 Clients Are Already Warm

End-of-year outreach doesn’t need to be salesy. In fact, it shouldn’t be.

Send genuine check-ins to past clients, peers, and collaborators: “How did this year go? What are you focused on next?” No pitch. Just curiosity. This is when people reflect, plan, and mention upcoming challenges.

At the same time, document your best three projects as proper case studies — problem, approach, outcome. Results beat task lists every time.

Do a little now, and when January momentum hits, you won’t be scrambling — you’ll be ready.
