Quote of the Week

"It's better to look ahead and prepare than to look back and regret." -- Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Athlete

"If only I had made a few more calls, or sent a few more proposals, or.... I would have made quota." How many times have you heard yourself lamenting past mistakes?

The key to avoiding this kind of regret is looking ahead at what you need to do, and then planning how you're going to achieve it. Maybe you need to make three more prospecting calls each day, or create a direct mail campaign to reach new buyers. Whatever it is, plan ahead and implement your plan - you'll have no time for regrets!
