Timing Your Campaigns

  • Start campaigns 4-6 weeks before the seasonal peak (account for 2-week warmup)
  • Mention the season explicitly in your campaign goal so your agent references it in outreach
  • Run parallel campaigns — one seasonal, one evergreen — to maintain consistent flow

Example Seasonal Goal

"Book 15 HVAC maintenance contracts with homeowners' associations in Phoenix before May 1st, focusing on communities with 100+ units that haven't scheduled their spring AC check yet."
