Proper logical planning and thoughtful execution will help you plan a more successful sales day/week. Here is just one example by this.
Set your schedule to provide a time midweek to take care of the week's demands. Maybe set aside Wednesday morning for catching up on emergencies, talking to your favorite WD, reading PD magazine, or thinking through how to handle a major customer problem. A scheduled midweek "thinking time" will let you focus on your business plan and not cut into your family and friends time in the evenings.
