Business advisors are always in demand: but what are the peak periods? ⬇️
I’ve been ranking for dozens of terms around business advisory for years.
🏆 And incoming applications come at predictable times.
This process applies to agency services, tourism companies, launching LLCs or tax consultants, and other seasonal activities.
👨🏫 If you work with executives and C-levels, seasonality should be the core trigger for your GTM campaigns.
Here are the core seasonal peaks when executives look for a new business advisor:
1. Feb 27th
After the January slowdown and wrapping up most of February, executives have a couple of down days before starting the new month.
And March is already a stronger sales month – setting the right foundation in the calendar year for the next 6-7 months before Q4 is common.
2. May 3rd
As Q2 is underway, there are still 30-60 days packed with events, demos, and proposals before the slower summer season.
Making the most out of the quarter gives a final push to research and potentially meet the right strategic partners.
3. Jan 2nd
New year, new luck – gyms are packed in the first 2 weeks in January with new year’s resolutions flowing in.
And busy executives can’t wait to get their budgeting in place, establish the foundations for the year, or pivot hard in January while everyone is slowly moving back to the work rhythm.
This persona is a busy hands-on founder who proactively seeks solutions.
4. Mar 28th
End of Q1 and preparation for Q2. Quarterly seasonality is strong – and considering the slower Q1, busy Q4, and the summer slump, wrapping up the quarter often comes with new ideas and strategic solutions to plug into the next few months.
5. Nov 28th – Dec 5th
Two different groups of executives here:
– Taking the Thanksgiving weekend to take a break and think strategically about the new year ahead of time
– Post-Black Friday executives (DTC and Amazon) who wrapped up most of the shopping season with smooth sailing until Christmas and rebuilding core systems in Jan-Feb
Understanding ICP intent and seasonality is what makes “demand capture” effective.
Don’t apply the same boilerplate solution in your GTM and when an executive reaches out.
