"I recognize how important it is that I hit my monthly sales goals. In order to do so, I continually track my progress. I usually use a spreadsheet or CRM software like Salesforce to record my sales. Every Friday I print out a weekly sales report so I can see how I'm doing. That way when I come in the following Monday, I know what I have to do. If it looks like I'm falling behind, I make sure to increase the number of customers that I'm contacting to counteract that. The more clients I contact, the larger my odds of being able to upsell or cross-sell more accounts. Sometimes I also offer discounts if my manager approves it. Using these methods, I haven't missed my sales target even once in the last five years."
