A Terrible Thing About Fridays

Posted August 9, 2013

No business needs ever occur on Fridays . . . They schedule themselves Monday through Thursday.

Oh, and if its a Friday during the summer it might violate some unwritten law.

Decision makers don’t make decisions on Fridays and never answer their phone on Fridays so don’t bother.

They don’t accept emails from sales reps with ideas that could impact their business on Fridays either.

Basically, business comes to a grinding halt on Fridays so you’re wasting your time.

And that’s not the terrible part . . .

The terrible part is that you laugh at the sarcasm but your actions (or lack of) tell me . . .

You bought the barrage of BS I just shot at you.

Then the real terrible part arrives . . .

You’ve limited your opportunities to Monday – Thursday and . . .

Your competitor takes the money you left on the table.

In the words of the immortal Cher from the movie Moonstruck . . .

“Snap Out Of It!”

Somebody, somewhere, desperately needs what you offer . . .

Right now!

Our job is to find these people!

Gotta go now . . .

Friday is my “Take the money left on the table by lazy competitors day”

Time is running out . . .

  1. I always count on my competitors taking Friday’s off and playing golf. In the meantime, I love nothing more than to score a hole in one with their customer.

    Who knows, the customer might be totally upset with his currently supplier because he is is the middle of a problem and he can not reach his sales person. Why, because he knows he is playing golf and is more interested in their golf game than taking care of his customers.

    When I take his business away, I reach my car and yell Four!
