Whether you're a club veteran, just getting your feet wet, or somewhere in the middle, you are in the right place.

00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:22.480
I'm your host, Denny Corby.

00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:23.679
Welcome to the show.

00:00:23.839 --> 00:00:30.079
In this episode, I am sharing with you a Christmas holiday gift.

00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:34.799
This episode is short and sweet and honestly kind of a power move.

00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:42.960
Uh, this is just me, no guests, no fluff, just a quick solo episode and tip that will change how you work, how you connect, and how you follow through.

00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:54.799
I hope you are all taking some time around these holidays to spend with the important people in your life, making sure your club's taken care of, making sure you're taken care of, your people, your team, everyone in your life.

00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:55.439
Life.

00:00:55.679 --> 00:00:57.759
Where that where that accent come from.

00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:07.359
But no, in this holiday season, hope you are all taking care of yourselves and having a really great December and gearing up for a wonderful 2026.

00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:09.040
It's gonna be a wild year.

00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:19.280
And speaking of wild year, shameless plug, if you or your club is looking for one of the most fun member event nights, you have the Denny Corby experience.

00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:25.040
It's for people who are afraid of comedy shows and want more than a magic show.

00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:30.560
It's really engaging, really crowd work focused, a lot of banter, interaction, and engagement.

00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:36.640
There's excitement, there's mystery, also there's magic, mind reading, and comedy, a ton of laughs, gasps, and holy craps.

00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:39.760
If you want to learn more, head on over to dennycorpy.com.

00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:43.120
The beginning part of 2026 is fairly full.

00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:45.359
The second part looking a little better.

00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:48.319
But reach out and let's talk.

00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:50.079
Dennycorby.com.

00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:51.680
Enough about that though.

00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:52.640
Let's get to it.

00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:57.280
So here is my secret holiday tip gift for you.

00:01:57.439 --> 00:01:58.159
Are you ready?

00:01:58.480 --> 00:01:59.280
Here it is.

00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:04.560
It's schedule sending or on an iPhone, send later.

00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:05.359
That's it.

00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:06.239
That's the tip.

00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:11.039
Simple, invisible, and criminally underused, if you ask me.

00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:15.919
But when you start using it on purpose, it becomes a total game changer.

00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:19.680
And not just for the holidays, not just for this time, but all year long.

00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:20.800
So what is it?

00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:23.360
So you've probably seen it before in Gmail Outlook.

00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:25.680
There are options for schedule send.

00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:30.240
And in Apple messages, in your iMessages, it's called send later.

00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:36.240
You can literally pick the exact date and time you want that text or email to go out.

00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:42.479
You write it now and you hit send next week, or the week after, or a month later, or two months later.

00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:43.520
It's when you want.

00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:51.120
Future you handling business while current you takes a nap, hosts a board dinner, hits a couple balls in the links.

00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:55.120
You see, this matters because life gets busy.

00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:57.120
We forget things, we mean to follow up.

00:02:57.280 --> 00:02:58.400
We want to check in.

00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:07.599
We say, I'll email you next week, I'll send you a text, and then next thing we know, days go by, hours go by, months go by, weeks go by.

00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:10.560
We're focusing on so many other things and we forget.

00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:16.479
So these little schedule sends, these little send later takes that mental load off you.

00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:22.240
And it puts follow-ups a little bit on autopilot while still keeping things thoughtful and intentional.

00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:30.800
I think it's one of the most powerful little touches and tools you can use to build your communication and your community, especially in this industry.

00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:33.120
And you can use this in so many different ways.

00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:34.719
You can do member check-ins.

00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:43.199
You just chatted with a member and something somebody was said, or they mentioned it was maybe someone's birthday or they're going somewhere, and like, oh, I can't wait to hear about it.

00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:50.319
Why not, after you leave, schedule, send a text or an email asking them how it went a day or two after?

00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:53.520
You could do birthday messages, welcome messages.

00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:54.479
Hope you had fun.

00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:56.000
How was your trip?

00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:59.599
Literally, it is unlimited uses.

00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:07.199
Here's the thing with this, with this thing, these little things that we also talk about on the show and in the episodes, right?

00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:11.520
These aren't and this isn't a productivity tip or trick.

00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:13.680
This is relationship building.

00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:21.839
Because being consistent, being thoughtful, and being timely, especially in hospitality, that stuff sticks with people and it shows you care.

00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:23.360
So that's it.

00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:29.199
We're all busy, we all mean well, but the follow-through, that's what builds trust.

00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:36.319
So schedule send, send later will let you follow through without relying on your fried brain.

00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:38.800
Maybe it's just maybe just me.

00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:39.279
I don't know.

00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:44.079
It's one of those little tiny tools that when used well makes a huge impact.

00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:51.040
So consider this my little gift to you, and honestly, to future you also uh give it a shot this week.

00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:51.920
Try it out.

00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:54.560
Once you try it, I know you'll be hooked.

00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:58.639
And if you already use it, you know how much of a gem this already is.

00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:01.439
All right, that's it for me today.

00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:04.399
Happy holidays, whatever you celebrate.

00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:06.399
Spend some time with some amazing people.

00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:08.240
We're keeping this short and sweet.

00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:09.680
That's this episode.

00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:12.560
Until next time, I'm your host, Denny Corby.

00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:14.879
Catch y'all on the flippity flip.
