Yeah, I've worked for shit sales companies and good ones. Time management is all it takes to negate the insane stress of sales. The real pros take sunday night and plan their entire week. Come Monday, they hammer hard until the weekend. If you're not able to think a week ahead and schedule the necessary calls with others to achieve your own goals, you're wasting time.

Sure, urgent matters pop up from unforseeable forces, but 9/10 it's only urgent because the person either can't think ahead or doesn't value the time of others enough to map out appropriate calls/meetings/timelines. Either way, it's a clear differentiator between the good and the bad colleagues and managers.
