A day in the life...

Yesterday I mentioned I hit the road this week to visit customers and prospects. Today I am going to discuss a little of what my day looks like when I am away from home on a business trip.

5am - my alarm goes off. I wasn't planning on getting up this early, but I forgot to change my alarm from the day before

6am - check email, write thank you's for meetings from the day before, listen to the news, read my favorite blogs

7am - run a couple miles on the treadmill, 12K coming up this weekend

8am - shower, shave, get ready for the day, have continental breakfast at the hotel, take vitamins

9am - follow up on emails, make phone calls, schedule a few product demos for next week, drop off thank you's at the front desk to be mailed, drive to first appt

10am - meeting with current customer, discuss how their current upgrade is progressing, discuss the new things TempWorks has come out with in the last few months, arrange demo for DocCenter

Life on the road, all very glamorous...
