A sales leader told me recently that they value consistent monthly output way more than a single lucky quarter. They believe that building repeatable daily habits is the only real way to hit long term targets. What is one part of your daily routine that has made the biggest difference in your performance?

Calendaring everything… from driving to the office to driving home… memos will ping 15 minutes before to keep you on track throughout the day… if someone adds something to your plate… give them a realistic timeline given your current calendar and availability…

Every minute not wasted here

Disciplined calendar management.
Making sure there’s adequate prep time for every customer call rather than cramming multiple back-to-back customer calls, leaving no time for prep that can actually cause a deal to go south or delay the successful close.
Quality over quantity.

I need to prepare for call , review the lead details and make my action plan to successfully deliver everytime. Spot on

For me it is planning the day before it starts. If I begin the morning reacting to everything, my productivity drops noticeably.

13 yr outside Sales Experience in the B2B space, multiple roles/companies. Current quota is $15MCAD, I usually do not bad in quota but lately has shifted to rewarding medicorciy and "pooling" some numbers countrywide which i really dont like.
Current comp is $85k Base and $115 OTE with a ceiling of $150k CAD/$120k US. Feel it's too little for my experience and they are taking perks away by the day.
Thinking of moving to I tech sales? Anyone else do it? What's comp look like?
