October Closes This Week. Did You Hit Your Target?

Philomena Moncoeur • October 30, 2026

October is almost done. Take 10 minutes today and pull up your numbers.


How does your October revenue compare to your Q4 monthly target? Are you ahead, on track, or behind? The answer to that question should determine exactly how you spend your energy this week.


If you are ahead: great. Do not coast. Use the momentum to get even further ahead in November.


If you are on track: stay disciplined. The same actions that got you here will carry you through.


If you are behind: do not panic and do not wait. The gap is still closeable and November is coming, but only if you make intentional, revenue-generating moves right now instead of hoping things improve on their own.


THIS WEEK'S INSIGHT: THE OCTOBER CLOSE STRATEGY


Before November begins, do three things.


First, collect every outstanding payment and invoice that is past due. Uncollected revenue is still revenue, go get it. Second, reach out to every warm lead who expressed interest in October but has not yet committed. A brief, genuine follow-up this week can convert them before the month closes. Third, identify your top three revenue-generating actions for November and schedule them on your calendar before Friday.


You cannot change October at this point. But you can absolutely determine what November looks like.


YOUR TASK THIS WEEK: COLLECT AND COMMIT


Collect outstanding payments, follow up on warm leads, and commit your November revenue strategy to your calendar. All three, before Friday.
