One of the biggest mistakes I see reps and founders make is leaving their calendar wide open and just “seeing what comes up.”
That’s a recipe for chaos and missed opportunities. 📉
Top performers don’t find time. They make time. ⏰
Here’s what I do:
Prospecting Blocks: Dedicated time each day (non-negotiable) for cold calls, follow-ups, and outreach.
Prep Blocks: 15–30 min before major calls to review notes, research, and set an agenda.
Deep Work Blocks: No Slack, no email. This is where strategy, planning, or major projects get done.
Buffer Blocks: Built-in space between meetings so I can reset and not run behind.
Prioritize Tasks: There are tasks that need to be done during the day and those that don't - I put together my schedule with intention, understanding what is a priority and what isn't during prime hours.
It sounds simple, but most people don’t do it. The result? They let other people’s priorities fill their day.
Your calendar tells the truth about your priorities. 📈
