Key Takeaways:

1. Procrastination is a Sales Killer

We all do it—whether it’s avoiding a tough call or pushing off follow-ups. But the most successful sales pros know that inaction costs you money.

🔹 Identify the real reason you’re avoiding the task.
🔹 Recognize that putting things off only creates more stress later.
🔹 Break the cycle by committing to action right now.

 


 

2. Break Big Tasks into Bite-Sized Actions

Feeling overwhelmed by a long to-do list? Start small.

✅ Instead of looking at 5,000 leads, focus on calling 10 right now.
✅ Instead of writing a whole marketing campaign, start with one email.
✅ Progress beats perfection—just get started!

 


 

3. Revenue-Generating Activities (RGAs) First!

Ask yourself throughout the day: "Is what I’m doing right now making me money?"

✔ Calling leads
✔ Following up with prospects
✔ Asking for referrals
✔ Creating content that attracts customers

🚨 If what you’re doing isn’t moving the needle, you’re wasting time!

 


 

4. The Power of Accountability

Nothing lights a fire like accountability. Use it to keep yourself on track:

📢 Public Commitment – Tell someone what you’ll accomplish today.
🏆 Consequences & Rewards – Example: “If I don’t make 100 calls today, I owe my friend $50.”
💪 Team Support – Join a mastermind or accountability group for extra motivation.

 


 

5. Time Blocking & The Pomodoro Technique

⏰ Set specific time blocks for revenue-generating activities.
🎯 Example: Call leads for 30 minutes, then take a 5-minute break.
🔥 Using the Pomodoro Technique keeps you focused and prevents burnout.

 


 

6. Eat the Frog: Do the Hardest Thing First!

Tough calls? Awkward conversations? Knock them out early in the day.

🚀 Completing a difficult task first thing builds confidence and momentum.
💡 Reminder: The longer you wait, the bigger the problem becomes!

 


 

7. Use Visual Cues & Affirmations

Your environment shapes your behavior. Create reminders to keep you on track:

📱 Phone Folders: Instead of “Social Media,” label it “I AM A PRODUCER.”
💰 Finance Apps: Label them “I AM ABUNDANT.”
📍 Post-It Notes: Stick reminders on your laptop—“Did you call the leads yet?”

Your brain responds to repetition. Program it for success!
