Anyone who has ever taken a leap of faith into the sales profession has probably experienced something called “closing week.” This is the last week of a sales cycle where the sales team aims to finalize all incoming business in order to reach their sales quota for the cycle.

It’s starting to feel a bit like summer around San Francisco.   Monday morning conversations by the coffee machine are starting to sound more like “you got some color this weekend!” rather than “how did you stay dry in all that rain?”  Needless to say, everyone is starting to feel a bit more enthusiastic and refreshed now that the sun has momentarily returned to our lives (this is San Francisco – we all know that summer sun is fleeting).  What goes better with sunny weather than new pump-up mixes?
