Replay! I don’t believe in time management simply because we have no control of it. However, self-management we do.
Biggest takeaway from David: “Preparation - All the things you do when not in front of the customer.”

[@SellingFromtheHeart]

You're absolutely right about self-management. It's all about preparing ourselves to be at our best when we are in front of customers. Keep up the great work! 💪
