I always arrive early for our daily meetings, only to have the latecomers push in front of me until I’m standing behind a wall of the tallest members of my division. At least the meetings are ﬁrst thing in the morning, when everyone is freshly showered. Later in the day, I’d be up to my nose in armpits. Ben Harris ambles over to the scrum at the pace of someone who hasn’t learned to tell time. His limbs are loose, and his expression untroubled. He gives a quick rake of his ﬁngers through silky chestnut hair to sweep the strands from his blue eyes and nods at me .“S’up?” I retract, ﬂustered.“I’m, er…yeah…I’m chilling.” Not true.

Clients might check out early. You should count on talking to a ton of voicemail accounts today. Imagine your contacts listening to your message ﬁrst thing on Tuesday morning. Labor Day means the unofﬁcial end to summer. They might be bummed to be back in the ofﬁce . The coffee won’t have kicked in. Keep the sales pitches fun; leave them a message they’ll want to return. For calls to existing clients regarding a problem, keep your conversation solutions oriented. Business has its ups and downs. Make sure you’re part of the ride up.” It wouldn’t be a morning meeting without Derek’s elevator puns. A bit too on the nose, considering we’re in the elevator service management business.
