Employees are working longer and longer hours. Companies need to begin to advocate some down time during the day, the week and the year. It is in the company’s best interest to do so.

A sale is stressful when we approach Prospects with the intention of making a sale and the fear of not making a sale. To compound matters, Prospects are afraid we are going to manipulate them.

Prospects accept appointments reluctantly (which is why we have difficulty getting them on the phone in the first place) and are pre-armed with a litany of excuses (aka objections) to get rid of you. It is this dichotomy of goals (you want to make a sale and Prospects want to protect themselves) that creates stress. Imagine if you both want to meet. Imagine if neither feels the other is going to try to force anything on him. Imagine you both feel the only acceptable outcome is the satisfaction of your Prospect's goals.
