The Hidden Truth About Your Sales Year: Why Every Day Counts

Picture this: It’s December, and you’re looking back at 2025, wondering where all the time went. Like many consultants, you might think you have 365 days to hit your sales goals. The reality? You have just 250 selling days. That’s right – only 250 opportunities to move your business forward.

The Real Challenge Isn't Time – It's Clarity

Most consultants don’t fail because they lack skills or expertise. They fall short because they don’t recognize a fundamental truth: the calendar is not your friend unless you make it your ally. Those 250 selling days? They’re already being eaten away by:

  • Holidays and weekends
  • Administrative tasks
  • Client delivery work
  • Unexpected emergencies
  • Personal commitments

Before you know it, that 250 becomes 200, then 150, and suddenly you’re in Q4 wondering why your pipeline isn’t where it needs to be.

The Cost of Waiting

Every day without a clear sales plan isn’t just a missed opportunity – it’s lost revenue that you can never recover. Think about it:

  • If your average project is $25,000
  • And you need just one new client per quarter
  • Each day without a plan reduces your chances of hitting that goal

A Path Forward Exists

 Here’s the good news: you don’t have to navigate this alone. We’ve created a free 2025 Selling Days Calendar specifically for US and Canadian consultants. This isn’t just another calendar – it’s a wake-up call and a planning tool rolled into one.

This calendar shows you:

  • Exactly how many selling days you have each month
  • Quarter-by-quarter breakdowns
  • Key holiday impacts on your selling time
  • Clear visual reminders of your available time

Your Story Can Have a Different Ending

Imagine instead:

  • Starting each quarter with clarity about your available selling days
  • Having a structured plan that maximizes every opportunity
  • Knowing exactly when to intensify your business development efforts
  • Ending 2025 having achieved (or exceeded) your revenue goals
