🎄 Cohesion Elves Festive Tips! 🎄 Don’t let the festive break mean a communication break! ✔️ Send out a cheerful greeting to your candidates to spread some holiday cheer. Perhaps a video with the people you care for and support enjoying the festivities? ✔️ Let them know if you’re available between Christmas and New Year to answer any questions, help with next steps, or just touch base. And if you’re not, schedule your communication and tell them when you're back. A simple message can go a long way in showing your commitment and keeping the process moving during this busy time of year. #CohesionElves #FestiveSeason #TopTips

Start the New Year with a resolution to keep referrals top of mind and actively encourage participation.
