"Happy New Year!"
1. What to Think About This Week
The holiday season can be a joyous time of year!
It can also be professionally stressful with the competing priorities of wrapping up the business year, preparing for the next year and coping with the demands and joys of the holidays.
There are at best 38 business days left in 2021.
Nine Friday's from now we'll be wishing each other "Happy New Year" and marveling over how it's 2022 already.
As your opportunity days(TM) dwindle prioritize your time so that you're taking advantage of your biggest opportunities, professional (and personal!).
Do everything you can to wrap up all of your available opportunities in Q4 and seed the ground for a successful 2022.

The three things you need to do this week and execute on this month are . . .

Sales Leaders
November is a short month for your team.
Pipeline discipline is key especially in the last 8 weeks of the year.
Focus on the deals that are able to close this year. Push stalled deals to nurture status and deals that slip into next year.
If you haven't made your 2022 recruiting plan you're behind the power curve. Make your plan and start working it. It's harder than it has ever been to hire right now and you need all of the runway you can give yourself to find the right people for your team.
3. What to Do This Quarter - Strategy
Sales Leaders
Q4 is short because of the holidays . . . and you can accomplish a massive amount in the 38 days that are remaining.
Make the most of them!
