A few years ago, I was in a training session with a new salesman named Nick. He was a very intelligent young man who took copious notes and tried to implement everything that was taught. That ultimately got him fired but that is another story for another blog on another day!
Nick was a little immature and asked me how much I enjoyed life on the road - "you know; bars, booze and broads". I told him that A. "I'm a happily married man" and B. "I don't drink". But I did have some advice for him that might help him succeed.
Early to bed, early to rise will, besides the obvious, also get you to your appoinments on time with a relatively sharp mind. Eat healthy and drink water.
Allow time between calls so that you can maintain speeds that will let you keep your driver's license. I knew a guy that lost his license and had to be chauffeurred. That lasted about a month then he was gone.
Go see the movie with Glenn Close and Michael Douglas, "Fatal Attraction". If that doesn't scare you straight, I'm not sure what would.
Oh, sure I know what would scare you straight; AIDS.
