The Power of Morning Routines in Boosting Sales Performance
Imagine starting your day with an hour-long cold shower at 3 a.m., followed by yoga, breathing exercises, a vegan breakfast, and rounding it off with a half-marathon. Sounds intense, right? While this may sound like a dream (or perhaps a nightmare) morning routine for some, the real game-changer for sales professionals begins much more simply and practically.
Rising at 6:30 a.m., the aroma of freshly ground Italian coffee fills the air as the French press works its magic. It’s a morning ritual shared by many, including myself, as I prepare to step out with my dogs for their morning walk. Yet, it’s not the coffee or the walk that sets the tone for a successful day. It’s what comes after that truly matters.
The Untapped Potential of Morning LinkedIn™ Rituals
In our digital age, nobody seems to prioritize their email at the day’s end, and most ambitious professionals log into LinkedIn™ “whenever there’s a spare moment.” But what if I told you that the first 15 minutes of your day could dramatically influence your sales performance?
Here’s a thought: Wake up 15 minutes earlier and make LinkedIn™ your first (or second, right after checking your emails) stop. This isn’t the time for doomscrolling through social media. Instead, dive straight into your inbox, giving priority to one-on-one communications. Allocate five minutes to perform custom searches and engage with content (remember the search cheat sheet I shared?). Spend the rest of your time monitoring your network’s activities and planning your posts.
Why Consistency Matters
Committing to this 15-minute routine might seem minimal, but its cumulative effect over time can be profound. Consistency in this practice helps in laying down the groundwork for a day that’s not just reactive but proactive in building connections, engaging with potential clients, and setting the stage for sales success.
A Personal Touch
In the grand scheme of things, sales is about establishing connections. By starting your day focusing on personalized interactions and strategic engagement on LinkedIn™, you set a positive and productive tone for the rest of your day. It’s a simple yet effective way to ensure you’re not just another name in the crowd but a proactive participant in your professional sphere.
So, I leave you with this question: When do you log into LinkedIn™, and how can adjusting this routine boost your sales performance?
