(00:00) Improving Time Management for Sales Managers (08:39) Prioritizing Vital Functions for Sales Managers (15:23) Leadership Strategies for Time Management (23:49) Mastering Sales Time Management (33:59) Effective Sales Time Management Tips (00:00) Improving Time Management for Sales Managers This chapter focuses on the intricacies of time management for sales managers, with insights from Dan Stout, a world-class performance consultant and trainer at Sandler. We explore the common struggles with multitasking, debunking the myth that it is always beneficial. Dan emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between cognitive tasks that require focused attention and routine tasks that can be managed simultaneously. We also touch on the significance of proactive planning to avoid the pitfalls of reactive behavior, which often results in a chaotic day. By incorporating structured time blocks and avoiding learned helplessness among team members, sales leaders can enhance productivity and create a more respectful and effective work environment. (08:39) Prioritizing Vital Functions for Sales Managers This chapter explores the importance of focus and prioritization in leadership and productivity. We discuss how successful leaders manage their time by identifying three or fewer vital functions to concentrate on daily, rather than trying to accomplish everything at once. By categorizing tasks with color coding, such as green for income-generating activities, leaders can quickly assess their productivity and ensure they are spending the majority of their time on crucial tasks. We emphasize the difference between being intentional with priorities and simply reacting to daily demands, highlighting the tendency for some to focus on easy tasks instead of the essential ones. We also touch on the DISC personality model to understand how different personality types can influence time management and delegation skills. (15:23) Leadership Strategies for Time Management This chapter explores the intricate relationship between time management and personality types using the DISC model. With 19 years of coaching experience, I reflect on how different personality traits influence our time management challenges and strategies. For Dominants (D), the challenge lies in prioritization and delegation to prevent overloading themselves. Influencers (I) often struggle with saying no due to their people-pleasing nature. Steady personalities (S) procrastinate to maintain peace, while Conscientious types (C) are hindered by the need for perfection. I suggest practical tips, like encouraging Cs to start projects and perfect them along the way, much like a sailboat adjusting its course. Additionally, I address the role of leaders in modeling effective time management for their teams, emphasizing the importance of being a credible example for others to seek advice. If a leader is not perceived as efficient, team members may not be inclined to seek guidance, highlighting the necessity for leaders to continuously work on their time management skills. (23:49) Mastering Sales Time Management This chapter focuses on effective time management for sales leaders by introducing the Sandler concept known as the "cookbook." We explore the importance of differentiating between leading and lagging indicators, emphasizing that sales success is better achieved by controlling what you can, rather than solely relying on outcomes. The cookbook serves as a strategic tool for planning and organizing daily and weekly behaviors and activities necessary to meet ambitious sales goals, such as a $10 million quota. By reverse engineering necessary actions, such as face-to-face meetings and outbound calls, and focusing on consistent effort, sales leaders can create a predictable path to success. The discussion highlights how this structured approach not only guides salespeople in balancing time between growing existing accounts and seeking new opportunities but also helps them avoid the pitfalls of procrastination, akin to a runner's dilemma when bad weather disrupts their training schedule. (33:59) Effective Sales Time Management Tips This chapter focuses on enhancing sales leadership through effective time management strategies, as discussed with Dan Stalp. We explore how the mindset and approach to time management can significantly boost efficiency and effectiveness in daily operations. Key insights include the importance of structured daily routines and the prioritization of tasks to optimize productivity. Listeners are encouraged to revisit our earlier episode on Cookbook for further details and techniques related to this topic.

This episode features my first return guest — Dan Stout! His new novel, TITAN'S DAY (DAW Books) is the sequel to one of my favorite books of 2019, TITANSHADE. TITAN’S DAY returns us to the city of Titanshade, our police investigator protagonist Carter, and his two-mouthed, mandibled partner, Ajax. Their discoveries in the first novel have changed the fate and fortunes of their dirty, cold and crime-ridden city — whether for good or ill, who yet can say? But bodies are still showing up in alleyways, so Carter and Ajax are back on the streets — and back in the thick of inter-department politics and inner city crime syndicate conflict. The detectives race to save innocent lives as the boom-town tips towards anarchy, and all-out war threatens the lives of human — and otherwise-humanoid citizens — during the city’s biggest celebration of the year: Titan’s Day. TITAN'S DAY is available now where books are sold.
