By Tibor Shanto. Time is a truly critical element of sales success, yet too many take a very passive approach to their time. If not careful, time can be stolen by or wasted on the wrong opportunities. The most successful sellers will tell you to guard and own your time, not letting others waste it. To succeed in prospecting, in fact, in any element of sales, you need to own your time.

If there is one type of person every salesperson has more than a few pain-filled stories about, it is the gatekeeper. Relax! I’ve experienced my share of this too.

Most buyers we speak to don’t have much time for salespeople. The reason is they still think of them as being slick-talking, time-draining, pressure-inducing parasites who are trying to rip buyers off and get as much profit as possible. We all know this is a hackneyed, superficial oversimplification, based on ages-old templates that were forged from the old snake-oil salespeople of the wild-west.

The average voicemail response rate is 4.8%. 15% of the average sales rep’s time is spent leaving voicemails.
