Let’s shake up our sales game this year with something simple but powerful:
ONE daily micro-action. Just one. Every single day.
Why micro-actions? Because they’re small enough to feel doable, while impactful enough to create momentum. These little steps compound over time, building sharper skills, stronger habits, and better results.
Here are 11 to jumpstart your year:
- Make one extra dial before you leave your desk – That last call could be the one that results in a conversation.
- Always lead with a customer-focused message – Flip the lens. It’s not about you; it’s about them.
- Dedicate three minutes to research – A quick dive into LinkedIn or a news headline can make your outreach smarter.
- Deep dive into one account weekly – Know their goals, their challenges, and how you can fit into their success story.
- Read or listen for 15 minutes daily – A sales book, article, or podcast to keep your edge sharp.
- Find new sources of inspiration – Podcasts, blogs, even an insightful TED Talk. Fresh perspectives fuel innovation.
- Ask someone to share their favorite music – Creativity and connection start in surprising places.
- Don’t open your email until 9:00 – Focus your first hour on high-value activities instead of reacting.
- Ask for help – From a peer, your manager, or a mentor. Collaboration drives growth.
- Smile more – Your tone over the phone changes when you do, and customers feel it.
- Request more feedback – From prospects, teammates, or managers. Feedback is fuel for growth.
Now imagine the possibilities.
By taking just one small action each day, you’ll:
- Discover new skills to sharpen.
- Open doors to opportunities you didn’t see before.
- Build a sense of purpose and mastery, one step at a time.
Stop settling for average. Challenge yourself:
Make it micro
Do it daily
Skyrocket your skills
Inside sales success is built in the micro-moments. Let’s make this year the one where we own them.
Consistently taking little steps forward,
