There’s nothing like the feeling of a holiday week, right? It feels like you got a hall pass and can take your foot off the gas a bit.
But wait…even though more oxygen is getting into your lungs during weeks like these, you may want to rethink how hard your foot is pressing down. It’s still a work week…not all of your buyers are on holiday.
Use the feeling of lightness this week to your advantage…work on your Q3 strategic initiatives and non-rev goals. They don’t age like fine French wines; they need attention.

As you know, success in The Sales Life – your Sales Life – is contingent on you being great at a lot of things. Those "things" (skills, actions, behaviors, etc.) can be organized into two buckets: tactical and strategic.
Most weeks, you over-index on the tactical side of the ledger. This "slow" week is an ideal time to focus on the strategic stuff like these items…
1. Revise your Q3 goals; chart your progress and edit your action plan.
2. Start creating your Q4 goals.
3. Work on the strategic initiative that has drifted to the bottom of your list.

If you prefer to keep it light and Celebrate Good Times this week, at least be productive by learning a few basic dance moves to the classic Kool and the Gang song.
But if you decided to charge hard this week, perhaps this 1-minute escape will bring a smile to your face!
