Are you a B2B or B2C Salesperson always looking to improve your time management abilities? One of our most popular sales training Workshops in Vancouver, Victoria, Edmonton and Calgary will give you insight into some useful techniques that help you become more efficient in planning your day. Better prioritization means delivering on timely commitments and handling more customers in your sales funnel. Here are 10 Sales Tips for Better Time Management.
1. Better Time Management Means Planning Tomorrow At The End Of Today
This gives you a head start on the day before it even starts. Your last calendar appointment each day should be with yourself to look at tomorrow’s schedule and do what it takes to plan it. It’s a much smarter idea than doing it first thing in the morning and being the victim of phone calls, emails and hallway conversations.
2. Respond – Don’t React – Think Before You Act!
When your doctor uses a small mallet on your knee, your leg responds with the reflex action of going up. It takes no mental energy for this to occur. Prioritization of your tasks does. If you’re working on an email or presentation, you still likely would answer your phone. Getting sidetracked to take care of any necessary tasks coming from that call is a decision that requires your thought to allow it.
Salespeople will often rationalize that the task will only take a minute. It seldom does. A conversation with a co-worker then turns into a discussion on another unrelated topic. When you get back to your computer, you ask the question “Now what was I working on?” Sound familiar? You are in control of this decision. See Tip #3.
