Sometimes we forget that we spend more time and effort on the things that we personally like or the people that we personally like, or the squeaky wheels that really don’t deserve the grease.
So asking yourself that question and then prioritizing around the size of the opportunity, making sure you get to the most important biggest opportunities first and that they get the time they deserve, will help you to make more sales, save more time and be more productive overall.
