Activity Does Not Equal Productivity!

Updates from Marvin Montgomery

Sales Tip #394 From The Sales Doctor

Activity Does Not Equal Productivity!

I have fond memories of going fishing with my dad and grandfather. When we arrived at our favorite fishing hole, my dad would say “This looks like a great place to fish.” If the fish were not biting we would move to another spot. During the course of the day, we may move many times and still not catch any fish.

Now we have fish finders that let us know exactly where to fish which greatly improves our chances of catching fish. So what’s the point?

You can spend a lot of time and energy with activity that will not generate any productivity.

Make sure you are fishing where your fish are.
