Believe it or not, February 10th marks the end of the first six weeks of 2023 with approximately 16 weeks remaining until the first of June.
It’s a good point to ask yourself “how are things going?” thus far as you are launching into the Spring ‘23 season. Here are a few questions to ask and measure your progress so far:
1. How many groups have you kicked off this far?
2. How many groups will you kick off between now and May 1st?
3. Have you signed up any groups to run a Sprint (60 minute) sale?
4. Are you updating your calendar with year end dates and activities for your schools?
5. What is the game plan for the remaining 16 weeks of school?
Keep in mind that you have approximately 70-75 days of school left to start sales and kickoff groups. You will have closures like Spring Break, Good Friday before the Easter holiday, teacher inservice/stockpile days, not to mention inclement weather. So you are going to have to hit it hard and make some things happen to finish strong this Spring.
While finishing strong for Spring, you also need to simultaneously look at signing a few summer groups as well. Youth Sports, Church Youth Groups, Day cares, etc. are all viable groups that need money and will start fundraising soon. You need to get that hit list out and start working it right away. We are already nearing mid February and that will only leave March, April and a little bit of May to work your business.
