I'm So Busy I Don't Have Time To - The Killer Thought To Increasing Sales

Have you ever thought the following when sales were really, really good:

• I'm soo busy; I don't have time to follow up on new leads?
• I'm soo busy: I don't have time to keep track of all of my marketing and sales activities?
• I'm soo buy; I don't have time to stay organized with business and personal paperwork?
• I'm soo busy: I don't have time to plan my work and work my plan?
• I'm soo busy: I don't have time to attend any more business networking events?
• I'm soo busy: I don't have time to learn more to further my own professional growth?

If you have had any of these thoughts, just wait for in a very short time you will not be busy and wait a little longer you will have plenty of time to:

• Follow up on new sales leads
• Track all marketing and sales activities
• Be every organized with paperwork
• Work your strategic business growth action plan and plan your work
• Attend a plethora of business networking events
• Enhance your professional and personal growth such as sales skills

Because you will not have any sales at all. Your financial bank account will be quickly dwindling and along with your emotional one.

At least once a week when speaking with small business owners'; sales professionals such as new car salesmen, new car saleswomen, insurance agents and real estate agents; entrepreneurs and even C-Level executives, I hear the I'm soo busy rationale to justify current behaviors.

This rationale is really a self fulfilling prophecy for disaster. When you convince yourself that you are sooo busy, you will not focus on the other tasks at hand such as working your business growth action plan. The activity of the moment or moments will keep you in a very reactive state instead of a proactive one.

New sales will plummet and you will enter the sales throes of quiet desperation. Have you even been there? And did that feel and more importantly did you like it?

To avoid this self fulfilling prophecy means that you must be committed to taking care of those daily actions that support all of your sales. If you do not have time you can:

• Delegate some of these activities to others if you have other employees
• Hire a virtual administrative assistant if you are a single office/home office business owners
• Hire a part time administrative assistant

Whatever solution you take, you must decide now that I'm soo busy is the killer to growing your business especially if your goal is to increase sales
