The holidays were a time everybody to catch up from the holidays, answer emails, deal with that pile of papers on their desk, put out any fires that came up...but everyone is back into the swing of things. TODAY is the day to HAMMER the phones, follow up with people who told you “after the 1st of the year“ and add new accounts to your pipeline.

Remember, sales is more of a marathon than a sprint, so having a pool of accounts to follow up on and book meetings with, is just as important as your normal call list.

And remember, NEVER TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER‼️‼️
