To some extent, how you manage your calendar is a personal decision, and as a result, approaches vary across the profession. Some of the best salespeople I know are ruthless with their time. They guard their calendar, and they only spend time with clients and on projects that are going to produce results. I also know a salesperson who will block off an entire day each week to handle non-sales activities. He explained to me that he does this because he is then able to focus deeply on true sales activities during the other four days of the week.
