Take a Break

Simply put, and contrary to what you may have been led to believe, it’s okay to take a break.

 

Sometimes you might feel stuck and in need of perspective to better inform your sales process. Take a break—an hour, a day, a week—to let it breathe and return to it with fresh eyes.

If you’re at a stalemate in a negotiation, step away to recharge, then tackle the problem with new energy and ideas.

If you’re doing an outreach campaign and relying on the same tired language, take a timeout and look for inspiration.

If you’re spinning on your business strategy, wrapped up with hiring, or just really focused on the work you have on your plate, a break can provide the clarity and respite you need to power through.

Prioritize breaks, especially towards the end of the year—a perfect moment to recharge so you can finish strong in the fall.

Onward.
Tom
