Seneca on Procrastination
“Lay hold of today’s task and
you will not depend so much
upon tomorrow’s.”
–Lucius Annaeus Seneca (4B.C.–65A.D.)
Roman philosopher and statesman
Sales time…
Today is 20% of your salesweek.
Two salesdays are 10% of your month. (A salesmonth is made up of roughly 21 days.)
To lose only two salesdays each month to exhaustion or a desire to wait for a better day to make the call would be to lose more than a full month of salesdays each year.
Imagine if your returns reflected your slow days… and know that in the long run, it probably does.
36 salesdays wait in the quarter. Tic toc.
