21 Day Sales Learning Challenge: Day 9

"Driving is a Guarantee Learning Time Opportunity"

Ok so I get so excited to start up the car everyday...whether it's heading to or from work, appointments, lunch break, or just running to grab a coffee.

Why do i enjoy being in the car? Audiobooks! I am no longer a radio guy, I turned in the am/fm/satellite radio for a productive book.

The amount of time, in a sales position, we spend in the car there's no reason it should be a time to waste on AM radio stations, music, or other distractions to success. I did the math for myself and this is what I got:

Normal day total in car = 2.75hrs
Est. Commute to/from work - 25min+35min
Coffee/snack break - 15 min
Lunch meeting to/from - 20min+20min
Client meeting to/from ave. - 25min+25min

Long days total in car (like today) - 3.5hrs
Commute to/from work - 25min+35min
Client meeting to/from 60min+75min
Drive to 2nd and 3rd client - 10min+15min

So I usually work 4days a week under "normal" and one day a week under "long"

4normal = 11hrs
1long = 3.5hrs
Total = 14.5hrs
Subtract  4.5hrs talking time
Average time free in car = 10hrs

That's almost one audio book per week! Multiply by 50weeks (two weeks about not working  or days in office only, etc.) You can easily get through 40-45 books in a year, that's JUST in your car.

So far I've listened to the following this year:
"People Buy You", by Jeb Blount
"People Follow You", by Jeb Blount
"Moby Dick", by Herman Melville
"10X Rule", by Grant Cardone (19ch of 23ch complete)

Can't wait to see this post grow this year!
