COVID19 Remote Working Day Two Hundred and Thirty Eight of Selling Copiers
It's 9:19 on Tuesday evening and I feel like it's the end of the week already. Our selling month of March starts tomorrow and the thought of only having 20 selling days to reach my goal quarter goal of $300K will be a tall task.
Today was all about picking up the docs for the $54K production order early in the day and then getting back to my home office to process the order. I had an outside chance for another order with an existing account but I was fine with letting that roll till March. I just wasn't going to push it figuring that I would have an order in on the first day of the new month. Having that first order on the first day can set the mood for the entire month.
It was about 4PM when our email server went on the blink and just a few minutes before that I received a verbal from that existing account that they wanted proceed with the order. It was at that time that I had the thought that I could get this order in for this month. Rather than waiting on tomorrow I wrote that order and told the client that I had to have the signed docs today. The reason the statement of needing the documents today is because I set up a timeline of events in previous emails about moving forward with the order. Something like I can give you this as long as you can order by x. I knew there was a chance it would happen but when you've been doing this as long as I have you know that in most cases that timeline never comes to fruition.
Thus the thought of turning an order in on the first day of the new month has passed. In all likely hood I'll be beating myself up for the next week of not having any orders till I add to the pipeline and I can move some of the prospects closer to ordering. However getting that order in just before 5PM today also made sure that the client would not change their mind or think it over another day.
It's late I have a short month that I need to address. Have a good night!
