What an amazing week!
We closed our month 7 business days ago and all of those orders that didn't close for July have closed this week. Seems I'm HOT!
Similar to a baseball hitter that's in a hot streak, in sales it seems that almost everything you touch pans out. One of the things I've learned is that when you're hot you don't slow down. You don't take the attitude of "well I just had a great week and I'll relax next week, because I'm so far out in front". Wrong Batman, since you're HOT now is the time to continue the streak, continue prospecting and to set those appointments. Every time that baseball player gets an AB it's an opportunity to get another hit. When sales people get hot they need to continue the same efforts that got them HOT! #neverstopprospecting
