In this special episode, hosts Rob Nelson and Eric Thompson share creative and heartfelt ways to connect with your clients during the holiday season, inspired by a recent virtual happy hour they hosted for their coaching clients. This episode is packed with actionable "flow" ideas – perfect for strengthening relationships and showing gratitude to your sphere. Rob and Eric discuss the thoughtful gifts they sent to their coaching clients: locally-sourced hot chocolate, a curated wine selection, and pre-made old fashioneds. They encourage listeners to replicate this idea, suggesting a simple Google Form or QR code postcard to gather client preferences and deliver personalized gifts. Beyond gifts, they delve into other unique flow activities, like baking and delivering homemade bourbon pecan pies (shoutout to Ninja Robin!), hosting a client family photo shoot, and even organizing a festive wreath-making party.
