Sales management issues

In small towns, many businesses don't open until 9 a.m. Therefore, a community newspaper's ad sales people can't do much business before then.

But, they can make hay for sure after the 9 a.m. sun shines.

So, if they're coming in to the office at 8 or 8:30, and you're the ad sales manager, or publisher, and you have sales meetings, shouldn't they be before 9 a.m.?

And, if they were after 9 a.m. at your previous paper, shouldn't you unlearn old habit?
