Which apps do you use to maximize efficiency?

Just trying to bounce some ideas that can help others and maybe myself to become more efficient.

I use :

Road Warrior to map my route. It’s great.

Calendar

CamCard for scanning business cards

Textor for quick text quotes

Not all sales jobs are the same.

Do you have appt's set? Is this cold calling? How far is your territory etc.

Need specifics.

I call on current customers and write orders. Very important to get them on a schedule. Also very important to cold call with any free time. I try to add three new clients a week. Buyers.

CamCard is pretty good. I just got it and it cleaned up my whole center console of my car.

We usually order a dozen oysters and a few pitchers of beer then go from there.

Put. That coffee. Down. Coffee’s for closers only. You think I’m fricking with you? I am not fricking with you. I’m here from downtown. I’m here from Mitch and Murray. And I’m here on a mission of mercy. Your name’s Levine? You call yourself a salesman you son of a bitch?

Dave Moss: I don’t gotta sit here and listen to this shite.

Blake: You certainly don’t pal, ’cause the good news is – you’re fired. The bad news is – you’ve got, all of you’ve got just one week to regain your jobs starting with tonight. Starting with tonight’s sit. Oh? Have I got your attention now? Good. “Cause we’re adding a little something to this month’s sales contest. As you all know first prize is a Cadillac El Dorado. Anyone wanna see second prize? Second prize is a set of steak knives. Third prize is you’re fired. Get the picture? You laughing now? You got leads. Mitch and Murray paid good money, get their names to sell them. you can’t close the leads youre given you can’t close shite. You ARE shite. Hit the bricks pal, and beat it ’cause you are going OUT.

Shelley Levene: The leads are weak.

Blake: The leads are weak? fricking leads are weak. You’re weak. I’ve been in this business 15 years…

Dave Moss: What’s your name?

Blake: frick you. That’s my name. You know why, mister? You drove a Hyundai to get here. I drove an eighty-thousand dollar BMW. THAT’S my name. And your name is you’re wanting. You can’t play in the man’s game, you can’t close them – go home and tell your wife your troubles. Because only one thing counts in this life: Get them to sign on the line which is dotted. You hear me you fricking ****? A-B-C. A-Always, B-Be, C-Closing. Always be closing. ALWAYS BE CLOSING. A-I-D-A. Attention, Interest, Decision, Action. Attention – Do I have you attention? Interest – Are you interested? I know you are, because it’s frick or walk. You close or you hit the bricks. Decision – Have you made your decision, for Christ? And Action. A-I-D-A. Get out there – you got the prospects coming in. You think they came in to get out of the rain? A guy don’t walk on the lot lest he wants to buy. They’re sitting out there waiting to give you their money. Are you gonna take it? Are you man enough to take it? What’s the problem, pal?
Dave Moss: You – Moss. You’re such a hero, you’re so rich, how come you’re coming down here wasting your time with such a bunch of bums?

Blake: You see this watch? You see this watch?

Dave Moss: Yeah.

Blake: That watch costs more than you car. I made $970,000 last year. How much’d you make? You see pal, that’s who I am, and you’re nothing. Nice guy? I don’t give a shite. Good father? frick you! Go home and play with your kids. You wanna work here – close! You think this is abuse? You think this is abuse, you cocksucker? You can’t take this, how can you take the abuse you get on a sit? You don’t like it, leave. _I_ can go out there tonight with the materials you’ve got and make myself $15,000. Tonight! In two hours! Can you? Can YOU? Go and do likewise. A-I-D-A. Get mad you son of a bitches. get mad. You want to know what it takes to sell real estate? It takes BRASS BALLS to sell real estate. Go and do likewise gents. Money’s out there. You pick it up, it’s yours. You don’t, I got no sympathy for you. You wanna go out on those sits tonight and close, CLOSE. It’s yours. If not you’re gonna be shining my shoes. And you know what you’ll be saying – a bunch of losers sittin’ around in a bar. ‘Oh yeah. I used to be a salesman. It’s a tough racket.’ These are the new leads. These are the Glengarry leads. And to you they’re gold, and you don’t get them. Why? Because to give them to you is just throwing them away. They’re for closers. I’d wish you good luck but you wouldn’t know what to do with it if you got it. And to answer you question, pal, why am I here? I came here because Mitch and Murray asked me to. They asked me for a favor. I said the real favor, follow my advice and fire your fricking arse because a loser is a loser.

Cosign on this one. Not that many I use other than apps specific to the companies I contract with.

If you work for a good company 90% of that should be provided. I would recommend you just sell shite and screw the rest of it.

Put my phone on silent and in the center console and go to work.

Distractions are the biggest obstacle between me and my goals.
