In a misguided attempt to stay busy and see as many people as possible, too many sale people subscribe to the theory that any activity is good activity. Sales people now must confront an overwhelming number of potential "things to do," and that requires them to make decisions about which customers in which to invest their time, to prioritize their activities every day, and to continually choose from a menu of possible activities. In other words, sales people must now engage in strategic planning.
