Win or lose, joy or heartbreak the fact of the matter is in sales the clock never stops ticking and all of us are only as good as our last deal, month and sale. Time is running out to make your current sales quarter and if you are 2 weeks in the pressure is there to commit to what deals are coming in, what sales you can accelerate, and perhaps even how much market share you can shift away from your competition.
So before the books close on the last month and the check hits the bank from the last quarter you need to be out in front of this quarter because in sales nothing is worse than making or breaking your success in the final hours.
