Remember that post we discussed at the start of the month? We were all fired up looking at the calendar, talking about how we had a massive 23 sellable days to absolutely dominate the start of Q3.
Well, as Ferris Bueller famously said: “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”
The same goes for the sales cycle. Blink and you’ll miss it! Here we are today Tuesday, July 14th, and the first half of the month is officially in the books. The clock is ticking, and counting today, we have exactly 14 sellable days left to make July a masterpiece.
So, let’s do a quick, honest pulse check: How is your deal count looking right now?
Are you up or down from your July goal?
Time for a Mid-Month Gut Check
Take a look at your pipeline today. If you aren’t exactly where you wanted to be at this point in the month, do not get discouraged.
Sales is a game of momentum, and a slow start does not mean a slow finish. How we close out these next two weeks directly impacts the runway we have moving forward.
Speaking of momentum, looking ahead to August, we have 21 sellable days on the calendar—and that’s not even counting Saturdays if you choose to grind on the weekends to get ahead. The opportunity is there, but we have to finish July strong to ride that wave right into next month.
- If you’re UP from your goal: Fantastic. But do not take your foot off the gas. Complacency is the number one killer of a great month. Double down on what’s working and widen the gap.
- If you’re DOWN from your goal: Reset right now. The month is far from over. 14 days is plenty of time to get back on track. One good afternoon of hustling can land you three clean accounts and completely rewrite your July numbers.
The Golden Rule for the Next 14 Days: Stay focused, tune out the mid-summer distractions, and keep pushing. Your Q3 momentum depends entirely on how you handle the back half of this month.
Where are you and what do you think?
Let’s do some accountability work today. Drop a comment below and let me know: Are you on track, or are you ramping up the hustle to catch up?
No matter where your deal count sits today, stay focused and keep pushing. Let’s go get those wins!
Happy selling,
David
