Some sales reps use the "busy work" as an excuse for not prospecting or closing sales.

The majority of my jumior sales people get off-track very easily and then can’t get back on. I’m not sure I can ever train them to work like this, but if one or two do, they’ll be easy to spot, because their productivity will increase and their stress levels will be lower. Great idea.

I fully intend to implement your suggestions. Just to add to your great thoughts...set your email to receive once an hour instead of every 10 minutes. Much less interruptive and you can always do a manual receive if you have to. Also, give yourself a quota. I make 15 cold calls a day - plus use tools like Inquisix on a daily basis. Doesn't sound like much but some days it takes all day to make my quota! Thanks again. Boy, have you hit the nail on the head! I fully intend to implement your suggestions.
