We're all busy. We run from meeting to meeting, we're busy doing research, reports, working on social media.... The list can go on. No one suffers from a lack of activity---the key to sales productivity, though, is are we focusing on the right activities? Ideally, as sales people, we want to spend as much of our time in customer/sales related activities as possible. Recently, I heard a piece of data, roughly 40% of sales people's time is spent working with customers in sales related activities. Frankly I believe that probably high, I think the time is significantly less than that.
