Deep Work Blocks vs. Zoom Stacking: What Drives Sales Revenue?

Forget the guru fluff. In high-ticket sales, your time is currency. The debate has raged: is it better to meticulously schedule deep work blocks for focused, uninterrupted output, or to embrace the modern reality of back-to-back Zoom calls, stacking them like poker chips?

That's almost an hour for a half-hour call. Pure garbage.
