Cell Phone Breaks and 20 Minute Meetings: An NFL Coach is Doing it. Should Pharma Sales Trainers follow Suit?

Attention spans are shrinking, and the average person checks their phone 47 times day. If you are between the ages of 18-24, you can double that figure according to the Journal of Accountancy. The Head Coach of the NFL’S Arizona Cardinals saw phones and social media becoming such a distraction with new players that he decided to build in phone breaks and focus meetings to 20-30 minutes chunks. Should pharmaceutical sales trainers consider this strategy when planning their next national sales meeting, workshop, or POA?
