An exta month's income

I didn't want to get out of bed this morning. I spent last night at a hockey game with our marketing department and sales management team. This morning was cold and snowy here in Pittsburgh. Still my feet hit the floor at 6:30 and I was out the door by 7:15. My farmer grandfather long ago impressed the impact of early rising on what one can get accomplished in a day. Think about this, if you get up 15 minutes earlier every day of the week you add a week and a half to your work year. Add another 15 minutes at the end of the year and you get more than 3 full weeks extra. Here is how the numbers add up: 15 min/day X 5 days = 1 hr. 15 minutes X 50 weeks (You can sleep in on your 2 weeks vacation) = 62 and one half extra hours per year. Not only do you get extra time but you get quality time. By starting early you are off and running before most people are in gear. This means you can accomplish a lot before anyone is there to interrupt you. If you use this time to plan and prepare you will see a big jump in your sales effectiveness. Since sales people are rewarded in direct proportion to the effort they put into their job this is certain to pay financial dividends.

Keep Smiling, Keep Selling!
