Managing both equally is very important. These few tips might works for us : Time Blocking - Dedicate specific time slots for lead generation, treating them as non-negotiable. Focus on High-Value Leads - Use your CRM to prioritize leads based on revenue potential, industry fit, or decision-making authority to maximize returns. Leverage Automation - Utilize tools like HubSpot, Salesforce, or LinkedIn Sales Navigator to automate tasks like follow-ups, lead scoring, and data entry. Delegate Non-Core Tasks - Outsource or assign tasks such as admin work or lead research to focus on strategic efforts. Set Clear Goals - Define measurable objectives, like scheduling a set number of discovery calls or adding qualified leads weekly.

Sales meetings and calls can easily consume my day, leaving little room for what truly drives growth: lead generation. Scheduled Blocks: I carve out dedicated time on my calendar solely for lead generation. Those time blocks are sacred. Focused Intent: Before each meeting, I remind myself of my lead generation goals. This keeps my mindset aligned and proactive. Team Collaboration: I collaborate with my team to brainstorm and identify potential leads during slower periods, turning downtime into productive brainstorming sessions. Follow Up Priorities: I prioritize follow ups with leads immediately after meetings, ensuring I'm leveraging momentum effectively. I maintain a balance between meetings and lead generation

A lot of sales people have heard the saying "always be closing," but really you should "always be prospecting." If you never stop prospecting, you'll always have a full pipeline full of opportunities. The easiest way to make sure you spend time on lead generation is to time block it on your schedule, preferably in the morning before taking any sales calls.

As a lot of people have already mentioned, time blocking is key. I start my day before it’s socially expectable to have work meetings so the first hour or so is my time to set up what i need to do for that day. I have certain blackout spots through the day to refocus on this. Another method is automating as much as possible. Not solely on responses but task creations for myself to make sure I don’t miss anything, as well as an old fashioned notepad!!

To stay focused on lead generation despite a busy schedule, time-block specific hours for it, prioritize high-value leads, automate repetitive tasks, and batch sales meetings to create more focused work periods for outreach.
