Title: Which month is your quietest?
Post by: Mike Cottam on October 12, 2016, 06:34:53 am: Hi all

Just wondered which month in your year is, on average, your quietest for sales?

Post by: Mike Halliday on October 12, 2016, 08:05:01 am: I find the last 2 weeks of sept & first 2 weeks of Oct tend to be slow, so I always go on holiday during this time

But I would say Jan & Feb is my slowest period, but not as slow as 15yrs ago when this period was horrendous

Post by: wayne zabel on October 12, 2016, 10:33:16 pm: January and February are always quiet for me,October has also been a quiet month presumably due to people holding back making a booking until prior to XMas.

This October has been good though,that said I'm as busy as I want to be and others would consider my busy as quiet.

Post by: clive ware on October 17, 2016, 08:03:15 pm: Flat out all year except February - specially if it`s particularly cold. Quite nice though as I can usually book clients in fairly quickly rather than 3 weeks away or evenings if they`re desparate!
