Set a goal
People are most productive and successful when they set a goal that is specific and measurable. How about aiming to increase your sales by 25% over last fall? Or to add five new clients between September 1 and November 30?

Make a plan
After you define your target, pinpoint where the new business revenues will come from. Will 75% result from increasing revenues from existing clients and 25% be the result of bringing in new clients? Where will you find these new clients? What products or strategies will you promote to achieve your goals? The answers to questions like these will help you formulate your strategy.

Plan your week
To maximize your productiveness, create a plan for a model week that maps out how you will divide your time. For example, you might allocate certain hours to making prospect calls and others to client contacts; set aside a day or two for client reviews and a day or two for uninterrupted “focus” time; dedicate certain times each day for returning phone calls and emails. Apportion your time according to when and how you are most productive.

Reach out frequently
This quarter is the perfect time to boost your online presence, with more frequent Tweets, Facebook posts and other digital outreach.
