Typically 40-50 per week with some exceptions at either end of the spectrum.

Any given day I'll be working on strategic planning for my portfolio of products, meeting with market teams to identify and define opportunities to sell my products, meeting with my colleagues across my sector and the firm to make sure we're not duplicating efforts, working with my product leads to make sure they're getting everything they need from me, and reporting up to my leadership on all of that.

Jk. In any given week, it's a mix of prospecting for clients, reviewing materials for client readiness, dealing with escalations both internal and external, and personal commitments to the firm. Usual ratio for these is 60:10:10:10 =90%. The last 10% is for unforeseen things that come up during the week.
