The most successful media salespeople I know don’t wing it. They map out their schedules in advance—blocking time for prospecting, meetings, follow-ups, and administrative work.

At the end of the day, the goal is to spend less time on administrative tasks and more time building relationships, closing deals, and driving YOUR revenue.
