Reps sell roughly 28% of their week. The fastest way to recover the rest is a disciplined call block: a scored list, a tight cadence, a dialer that never makes a rep look up a number, and automatic logging so nothing falls out of the pipeline. This playbook walks through running blocks that actually move quota.
What You'll Get

- Put a scored, auto-assigned list in front of every rep each morning
- Cut admin so reps spend the block dialing, not logging
