CREATE MORE TIME

TURN OFF YOUR CELL PHONE

It’s amazing how many of us just don’t have enough time to get done what needs to get done during the selling day. Well, here’s a quick tip on how to create more time – simply turn off your cell phone!

We are so tied to our cell phones that it becomes the tail wagging the dog (us!). But, there was a time before cell phones; a time when we weren’t totally dependent on a piece of technology that took precedence over everything else; a time when we didn’t wear a silly blue-tooth “thingy” in our ears. What could be that important that we wear those things while walking around, while eating dinner or in a meeting? Give me a break!

So, turn off your cell – right now. And, leave it off at least one (1) hour every  day. It can be split into a pair of thirty (30) minute blocks if that’s easier. This is your “DO NOT DISTURB” message to the whole world. Now, you have created the time necessary to get the important things accomplished today. Right now!
Changing your out-going voice-mail message (see Morsel #18) to reflect your “time-out,” allows you to complete those projects that demand “quiet time.” And, all will be well in your selling world.
You can do it this way:

• Hello. This is David Rubinstein and today is ... I will be available after 2:00 PM today but I’m checking in regularly. If you need immediate assistance, call 555.1212 and ask for Joe. Otherwise, please leave a message and I will be back to you as soon as possible.
• And, remember to change your out-going message again at 2:00 PM.

Go ahead, try it. After a brief period of withdrawal, you will be the dog wagging the tail!
