Sales and why it works. In this episode, host Jeff Bajorek dives deep into the importance of taking vacations and truly unplugging from work. He opens up about his own struggles with anxiety when trying to disconnect, and how not taking real breaks can lead to an erosion in the quality of your work over time without you even realizing it. Jeff recounts a trip to Italy where he left his phone in the hotel safe, set expectations with clients, and was able to be fully present - an experience that left him feeling refreshed upon returning to work.
He encourages listeners to build boundaries, set realistic expectations with customers, and take time for themselves - whether a long weekend away or even just an afternoon off with phones silenced. Jeff argues that customers actually respect and appreciate when you set those boundaries. Unplugging allows you to recharge, reflect, and ultimately provide better service when you're back on the job. The episode is a reminder that vacations are not luxuries, but essential resets that allow you to be at your best professionally.
