What’s with Mondays?

All these songs have been written about Monday’s- why do they carry such a strange stigma? The truth is that the week doesn’t really start on Monday’s anymore, it starts on Sunday morning as people shoot emails out from their laptops while finishing up their pancake breakfast or coming back from the gym. A lot more meetings happen up Mondays and new projects seem to land on your desk on Mondays. So my theory is that nobody seems to like their job on Monday- because it’s always different than the one they signed up for.

So what does that have to do with prospecting- a lot— the decision-makers we are calling are not always happy campers. My theory is that their skills are usually underutilized and yet their responsibilities increase daily. It’s rare for me to talk with someone who says how much they love their job and how it’s exactly what they want to be doing. Instead we are talking with people who are trying to dig their way out slowly to catch some air. Over the weekend, they catch a breath and on Monday it’s back to the reality once again.
