Hello {{first_name|Sales Reset Community}}
At the start of this week, your newsletter was all about your 30, 60, and 90-day Plan for Success for the first quarter of 2025.
How much progress have you made?
Benefits of writing your plan and your goals
It’s valuable to write down your plan and your goals:
Clarity and Focus: Writing turns vague aspirations into concrete objectives.
Motivation: Seeing your goals written down can be highly motivating.
Collaboration: You can share and review written goals with other people.
Accountability: Written goals enable you to hold yourself accountable.
Action Planning: Written goals make clarifying the action steps required easier.
Have you written your Q1 plan yet?
There’s still time to have something in place before the end of the week!
Remember, your plan doesn’t need to be lengthy, perfect or complete. All you need is sufficient clarity to make informed decisions about how to spend your time each day.
Planning is not a waste of time!
What’s been your response this week to these ideas about writing your plan for success?
For some people, planning is a waste of time. For them, cracking on with the work is the only thing that matters.
And there’s lots to recommend just getting on with what needs to be done.
However, it’s always a good idea to take enough time to make clear decisions about what work needs to be done!
Some people are naturally better planners than others. We’re all different in our range of experience, cognitive abilities, personality traits, and learned skills.
Just like everything else, effective planning is a skill that improves with practice.
Planning with your Sales Team Leader
An essential part of a sales team leader's role is helping every team member develop a plan for success.
We strongly recommend you spend time with your sales team leader to review and improve your plan for Q1 sales success. With the large majority of sales team leaders, it’s entirely OK for you to seek this sort of support proactively. They will almost certainly welcome your initiative in asking for their help!
If your sales team leader subscribes to our Sales Reset Leaders newsletter, they’ve been given some ideas this week about how best to help you.
Get to the end of the week with a plan!
We’re already midway through January.
If you haven’t yet developed your clear plan for success in Q1, this is the week!
If you’ve already developed your plan, written it down, reviewed it with your sales team leader, and begun implementing…
… WELL DONE!! 👏
