Forget fancy tools. Forget new AI.
If your calendar isn’t under control, your pipeline isn’t either.
Top closers don’t check their calendar — they run it.
Because they know: what gets blocked, gets done.
🗖️ Step 1: Make time for the stuff that actually drives revenue
You’re not paid to “stay busy.”
You’re paid to book, pitch, follow up, and close.
👉 Block time every day for:
-
Prospecting
-
Follow-up
-
Pipeline review
-
Closing conversations
-
Proposal prep
-
Self-review / coaching
🌟 Jack’s rule:
“If you leave your day to chance, don’t act surprised when your sales are random.”
🧠 Step 2: Build a weekly workflow, not a daily guessing game
Planning one day at a time? Amateur hour.
Closers timeblock like CEOs.
👉 Create weekly templates:
-
Mornings = Outbound
-
Midday = Meetings & Demos
-
Afternoons = Follow-up / Pipeline
Add buffers. Own the rhythm.
Monica says:
“Structure is what makes freedom scalable.”
↺ Step 3: Automate the right calendar moves
👉 Let your CRM auto-trigger calendar tasks:
-
New lead → follow-up block
-
Missed meeting → rebooking reminder
-
Proposal sent → follow-up in 48h
-
“No reply” tag → email + call task block
Tools like GoHighLevel, Zapier, and Google Calendar make it easy.
Your calendar becomes a closing system — not just a to-do list.
🔐 Step 4: Protect your calendar like it’s your commission
Don’t let others book over your prime hours.
Don’t “squeeze things in.”
Don’t leave blocks floating.
👉 Rules:
-
Lock your sales blocks
-
Move them — never delete them
-
Color-code them by sales stage
If your calendar is a mess, your sales probably are too.
❌ What not to do
-
Rely on “to-do” lists with no time attached
-
Start the day reacting to Slack and email
-
Book back-to-back calls all day
-
Leave empty space hoping “you’ll get to it later”
You won’t. You’ll get distracted.
And distracted reps don’t close.
💬 Monica’s final word
“Show me your calendar, and I’ll show you your close rate.”
It’s not about being busy.
It’s about owning your time like a closer.
