I think you’re working too darn hard. I mean it. Virtually every seller I know is working way harder than they need to. They’re running a million miles a minute trying to get everything done … wondering if it’s even possible.

If that sounds like your life, take a listen to my most recent video from the Sales Acceleration Summit. Thousands of people have already watched it in that venue. Now it’s your turn.

Before you jump into some other task, stop for a minute and think. What can you experiment with? Where do you need more effective strategies? It’s worth a try!
