I remember having my own freelance digital marketing gig. It was my own business, so I wasn't just marketing, I was SELLING my services.
Because my customer base went from the U.S. to Australia and in between, I found myself working as early as 4am and as late as 2am, anytime between Monday through Sunday. Fortunately, this wasn't a 24/7 type thing.
Of course I had breaks in between, with some times having a few days to weeks of not interacting with customers, but it got me use to doing "whatever it takes" to get a customer in a meeting and making a close.
Fast forward today, and I am a BDR who is scheduling meetings with prospects in China and India, and I am thankful my A.E. is super flexible and actually more excited for the fact I'm pulling meetings across the globe. It also helps that he personally loves waking up at 4am, and is willing to take calls until 8pm. Him and I are both based out of different time zones, so it makes it even more interesting, like figuring out a math problem as I am trying to close on a time. lol.
What are your thoughts about taking meetings before 9am, your time zone? How about after 5pm? I'm curious.
