“The fact is that your productivity begins to decline after eight or nine hours of work. For this reason, working long hours into the night, although it is sometimes necessary, means that you are usually producing less and less in more and more time.

While you are breathing deeply, continue to hold a picture of yourself as the very best salesperson you could possibly be.”
