De-Clutter Your Desk, Save Your Inner Calm |
| Clutter is extremely stress-inducing. A messy desk can make you feel overwhelmed and anxious, so clear those papers, throw out those old paper coffee cups, and feel that heart rate go down.
According to Coffivity.com, research has shown that people struggle to be creative in a quiet atmosphere, similarly, they also find loud workspaces distracting.

Do Your Prep Work |
| Early in my career I went on a sales call doing the usual amount of prep work to hold up my end of the conversation, expecting that the prospect would have prepared something of their own.
I was wrong. They had nothing. They wanted me to direct the whole thing. Luckily I pulled it all together and sailed the ship through for both of us, but it could have been avoided if I had done one simple thing: confirm the meeting. Meeting confirmations aren’t just another box to be checked on your to-do list. They’re a huge opportunity to influence your prospect or customer. Read more practical sales tips at Spiro.com.
