  • One must not do any work halfheartedly. Make sure you put your heart and soul in work to avoid delays.

  • Human beings are not machines who can work at a stretch. Everyone needs time to rejuvenate. Do take a break for half an hour anytime during the day. Surf internet, logon to facebook, chat with your friends or do anything you like. Don’t think about work during this time. This would help you to concentrate better on work and eventually complete assignments on time. Avoid distractions while working. Don’t interfere in your colleague’s work or roam around at the workplace.

  • Review your own performance regularly. Evaluate whether you have finished your work on time or not?

  • Sales professionals should never be late to meetings. Don’t make the customers waiting. It is always better to start a little early to reach the venue on or before time. Make sure you are there at the venue before the customer reaches.

  • Prepare an action plan as to how a particular task can be accomplished. Adopt a step by step approach. It is important to first finish one task before starting the next.

  • Sales professionals must discuss various options and ideas amongst themselves and devise strategies and techniques to accomplish tasks in the best possible way. Do keep in mind the budgets allocated to each task.

  • Analyze the results and outcomes of previous year’s activities and prepare a business plan. Make sure the business plan is concrete and reflects every individual’s future course of action.
