When the Market Feels Like It’s on Summer Vacation

It’s August. The sun’s hot, the kids are back in school, and your customers… well, they’re acting like they’ve all disappeared to the lake.

Every year, we get the same call from a business owner: “The phones are quiet. Sales feel slow. Is something wrong with my marketing?”

In this episode, we pull back the curtain on why August (and other weirdly slow months) happen—and why a quiet calendar isn’t always a bad thing.

Here’s what we dig into:

• The hard data behind seasonal slowdowns—and why August is the repeat offender
• How vacations, cashflow cycles, and even the weather affect buying behavior
• The “mature marketer” mindset that keeps you from making panic moves
• Smart ways to use slow months to plant seeds, refine your message, and set up your next big push

If your August feels like tumbleweeds rolling through your sales pipeline, this conversation will give you perspective, a plan, and maybe even a reason to enjoy the lull.
