How can Direct Sales professionals find balance when working long hours?

Well, it’s always difficult and challenging for me to finding such balance; however, if anyone as a sales professional can adjust the selling process with his or her own lifestyle then it’s create a balanced perspective and a sort of self initiated motivation as well. I do this way : ‘Set an ambitious goal ?? Priorities effectively (quantified and numbers driven)?? Use Technology, Tools and Automation to streamline workflow ?? Measure specific outcomes ?? track progress effectively ?? Balance Time and Win Sales’ Using Technologies is the key for a higher goal setting strategy and must be very specific and time bound process so that maximum success can be achieved and a certain balance in life can be felt.

As per practical experience always stick to schedule & avoid distractions, interruptions is not possible because time given by prospects may not match the schedule. One has to give the priority for availability of prospect customer then presentation & follow-up etc.This is upto certain extent beyond control.

In my opinion sometimes it is possible to communicate customers about availability online, offline or on vacation. To stick on self schedule is possible in case of monopoly only other wise customers will shift to our competitors on plea of better services.

In my opinion best ways to save time & energy is utilizing online services, communication through email etc. Apart from that sharing of responsibility, delegate authority to downlines & keeping track on them. It will provide scopes for relaxation without hampering the job.
