Ah, the art of the holiday greeting – a classic move in the networking playbook! Here's a little wisdom to help you craft that perfect message:

  • Be Genuine: Authenticity is key. Your message should reflect your true sentiments and the nature of your relationship with the recipient.
  • Keep It Professional: While warmth is good, remember to maintain a professional tone.
  • Personalize: If possible, add a personal touch that shows you remember details about the person or your last interaction.
  • Express Gratitude: Acknowledge the value of your relationship and thank them for their support, advice, or collaboration over the past year.
  • Well Wishes: Offer sincere wishes for the holiday season and the upcoming year.

Here's a template to get you started:

"Dear Name,

As the year draws to a close, I wanted to take a moment to reach out and express my gratitude for your support and insights throughout [year]. It's been a pleasure connecting with you and learning from your experience.

Wishing you and yours a wonderful holiday season and a new year filled with health, happiness, and success.

Warm regards,

[Your Name]"

Remember, the goal is to make a lasting impression that sets the stage for future interactions. A well-crafted holiday message can be a subtle yet powerful way to strengthen your network ties.
