Drive Home Results Last Quarter to Complete A Remarkable Year

The corporate sales world is is well-aware of the need to drive home results last quarter to complete a remarkable year.  Although this is technically still August, most people are mentally prepared for “back to school” and then scurrying to catch up after vacation.

This syndrome of playing catch up makes the last three months of the year very precious and every single minute counts.  Therefore it is wise to take most of September to prepare for a knockout last quarter in order to truly enjoy the festivities at year-end holiday time.

September To-Do List 

Pledge to contact every single person you connected with of those who expressed some interest during the year.  Create a primary and secondary list of people to contact.  Only work them the opposite way than you might normally do.  Call the secondary list first to build momentum and confidence in your own ability to easily reconnect.  

Most important is to further build relationships with everyone you meet.  If the sale isn’t “now” it could well be down the road. All the while keep an eye on the last quarter to complete a remarkable year. 

Once practice is underway and you are feeling good about the sound connections being made, call those on your primary list.  These should lead to numerous meetings between now and the end of the year.  You might suggest coffee with entrepreneurs or formal meetings with an executive’s team of decision makers at the corporate site. Although it may sound simplistic, the gesture contributes to your being able to complete a remarkable year. 

Sales Goal:  Fill your calendar with serious appointments
