The practice of using a written target account list can be applied in today's sales environment by having salespeople carry around or post a written target account list. This can be more effective than scrolling through screens on a CRM system. Handwriting or printing off a one-page list of target accounts and posting it by your desk can serve as a constant reminder of your sales targets and can help keep you focused and organized.
