10 Goals to Heat Up Your Sales in 2020

-

How are you doing on those 2020 resolutions? In our January column, you were encouraged to make goals instead of resolutions; it is never too late.

Here are our top ten Goals; remember to make them SMART goals.

1. Create a sales plan. Most people spend more time planning their vacation than they do planning their business.

2. Spend more time with family and friends. Just returned from a week long visit with my Dad, in Naples NY, in January. He’ll be 96 in March. If they are still alive, make a goal to visit your parents or grandparents. Dad was so excited to see me!

3. Tame the bulge. Get fit with fitness. Buying bigger clothes does not solve the problem. It can also be a great networking opportunity: making new connections and working out.

4. Quit smoking… or vaping. Back in the day, my college sweetheart asked me to stop smoking because I tasted like an ashtray. Great advice. We got married and eventually landed in Naperville.

5. Maintain a positive attitude. It will increase your enthusiasm which is noticed by prospects, customers and colleagues. One enthusiastic employee encourages the whole team to be more productive.

6. Measure your success. Don’t wait until October to have your first accountability meeting; measure your progress every month.

7. Get out of debt. Easy money saver: stop by the library, grab a DVD or Blu-ray. Start the fire and snuggle with your sweetie. Naperville’s libraries are awesome.

8. Learn something new. Twitter. Cooking. Linked-in. CPR. Blog. Come hit a bucket of golf balls with me; both of us will learn something.

9. Help others. Volunteer somewhere. Fill your idle time by helping someone.

10. Get organized. Deal with your desk. Don’t stack it… Toss it or file it.

Remember, a goal not written down is just a dream. Prime yourself to finish the year strong. Set and achieve these 10 challenging 2020 goals and Heat Up Your Sales!
