How can I max out my year end deals and attain 100% quota when this quarter is zooming by? It seems everyone is at a standstill.

I know, it's so tough this time of year. All I can say is stick with it. Resist the urge to take your foot off the petal. And just do the best you can. I hope we are all able to finish strong!

In my company there is no merit increase at all if you don’t hit 100% there’s time, I’ve seen Hail Marys happen on New Year’s Eve. Put in your time, go back to those you haven’t heard back from, find what we call “snacks” and fill your bucket ❤️

The team I’m on hasn’t all said it out loud, but I’m pretty sure everyone from my manager down is job hunting and interviewing. Making quota would be great but considering we can’t even real prospect because we have no idea who our customers will be even if we do still have jobs — just a weird time to be here.

I feel a bit lazy during holidays. But to answer your question, always keep your eyes on the price. Keep moving forward.

Try to create a pacing plan to set clear goals for the rest of the quarter. This way, you can create a plan to best achieve reaching 100%. Make sure to leverage your current leads, but also try reactivating some cold ones too.

If you keep your focus now, it'll surely pay off. Soooo many distractions this time of year, so just stick to it as best you can. Think you'll be surprised with what you can do.

Thinking the same way...trying to be optimistic but it's difficult. The last 60 days of the year seem to happen in 2 weeks . Might talk to my supervisor and see what can be done.

My team has been setting up call blocks, hitting up all old prospects, and sending gifts, offering discounts - pulling out all the stops.
