An effective salesperson may achieve greater results than an ineffective salesperson of greater sales ability. Working hard is not enough; top salespeople need to be effective.

Overview
We all have 24 hours in the day. The most successful people in any walk of life are not necessarily the most intelligent. Mensa, the society for people with a high IQ, is not full of millionaires. The difference between being average and being the best may be a matter of time management and how we use the 24 hours we have.

What is the difference between effectiveness and efficiency? Being truly effective is doing the right thing. Efficiency is how well we perform the tasks. Firstly we must be effective, and then let’s be efficient. If you are the world’s best person at keeping your filing system up-to-date, you may be efficient, but if your job is selling, you are probably not effective. If your job is a filing clerk, then you may be effective and efficient.

Let’s look at Thieves of Time in detail. Any activity which does not help us move forward, is a thief of time. Any activity which lowers our effectiveness is a thief of time. Any activity which robs us of efficiency in pursuing effectiveness is a thief of time.
