It’s the time of the year again where everyone’s working on their New Year’s resolutions, but excellent goal-setting doesn’t always translate to excellent execution. 😅

With the right guidance and mindset, you can easily turn those New Year goals into reality.

How about a free New Year goal-setting session with me in the next few weeks?

Just 15 minutes of your time, and I promise your path for 2024 will become much clearer.

Send me a 👍 if you’re interested.

New Year wishes for leads you haven’t messaged in a long time

You might feel awkward messaging people you haven’t spoken to in a long time, but the New Year gives you the perfect opportunity to re-engage them.

Sending them a short and personalised New Year greeting today can set you up for success later. You’ll find it much easier to move into a sales conversation from this new year message, as opposed to nothing at all.

But remember, if you haven’t spoken in several months or even years, you’ll want the message to be extra personal to make them feel special and increase your chances of reconnecting.

Try using one of these message templates here:

“Hey Chris, Happy New Year to you, Marion, and Biscuit. 🐶

We haven’t talked much in the past year, but whenever we did, your unwavering commitment in finding the perfect car to gift your parents absolutely left a lasting impression.

Wishing you and your family peace, health, and happiness in 2024. Cheers! 🥂”

“Hi Sam, Happy New Year! 🎉🍾

I hope you’ve been getting a much deserved rest – especially since the last time we spoke, you mentioned that you were entering a super busy time at work.

Wishing you a smooth-sailing 2024, and more moments of comfort, peace, and joy throughout.”

“Hey Danny, Happy New Year from me and the team @ Expert Academy! 🥳

I hope this year brings you lots of new and exciting opportunities for your career as a freelance social media marketer. 💪”

Summary

You may not get an immediate sale from wishing your leads a happy new year, but you’re definitely closer to getting one if you continue to follow up.

Here are 20 more WhatsApp follow-up message templates you can use later.

It’s important to remember that the key here is to send a personalised New Year greeting, and not a generic one, if you want to leave a positive impression.

When using any of our New Year message templates above, do include unique details about your leads and clients, whenever possible.

You’re more likely to get a reply when you show them that you’re not just another salesperson who is spamming your contacts with a generic script.

Speed up your sending process with auto-personalised New Year message templates

If you have a long list of leads you want to wish a Happy New Year, you might be thinking about bulk-sending your message. However, the problem with many bulk senders is that they don’t allow personalisation.
