Speaker Session 

Top Billers Stage - 1:30pm - 2:00pm

It's Not Why or What but WHEN the Right Time to Sell Is 

While most productivity advice focuses on what to do and how to do it, new research reveals that when we perform certain activities can be equally, if not more, impactful. There is a best time of day for influencing, sales, and meetings and you could be missing valuable opportunities simply due to timing. 

This session draws on the latest findings from neuroscience, energy management, and chronobiology—the science of our body's natural rhythms—to guide you in optimising your day. By aligning daily tasks with the body’s natural energy flow, you can boost productivity, reduce stress, and maximise both the return on your energetic investment. 

This session will cover: 

  • Identify Optimal Timing for Influencing. Discover the science behind why certain times of the day are better suited for specific tasks. Whether it’s brainstorming for a new project, sending emails, or sales, you’ll learn how to match the right tasks with the right times. 
  • Unlock Your Power Hours. Everyone has a personal peak—those two hours in the day when focus, creativity, and energy align. Learn to pinpoint your own peak productivity period and structure your high-impact tasks accordingly. 
  • Leverage Your Body’s Natural Strengths. Instead of fighting fatigue or forcing focus, you will learn how to work with your body's rhythms. By understanding the fluctuations in energy, mood, and cognitive function, you’ll gain a toolkit for achieving sustainable productivity and long-term success. 

Key Takeaways: 

  • Practical strategies to schedule your day based on your body’s natural rhythms. 
  • Tips on identifying and protecting your peak hours for maximum impact. 
  • Techniques to work smarter, not harder, by aligning tasks with energy levels.
