The goal of a seller is to close a deal. Many people who are good at getting prospective buyers to look at their products are weak at closing, and therefore come away from their sales presentations without orders. Their potential buyers evade sales pressure with delaying tactics such as “I will look around and let you know,” or “I have to ask my spouse,” or any other excuse that will help them avoid making a final commitment to buy.

Good salespersons try to create a sense of urgency. Those who are successful in getting orders make buyers feel that if they do not act immediately, they will miss a great opportunity to acquire the product. “Today is the last day of the sale,” or, “This is the last one that I will have for at least a few weeks,” or, “I have another customer who is coming back soon and wants this item,” are lines that will make a customer believe that procrastination will cause loss.

Sometimes it pays to delay and sometimes it can be quite costly. The Yetzer Hara (Evil Inclination) does not try to prevent you from doing good; rather, it tries to get you to say, “I can’t do it now but I will do it in a little while,” thus relegating the good deed to eternal oblivion. On the contrary, if you want to do a good deed you should realize that by waiting, you might lose an opportunity forever. When you see that golden chance to score on the Heavenly scoreboard—don’t delay! Jump at the opportunity before it is too late.

The next time you can’t decide whether to do something now or maybe later, consider whether the action provides a chance to do good, or whether you are being pushed from behind by the Yetzer Hara that is trying to trip you up. Once you know where you stand, if it is good, don’t delay or you will pay.

It only takes a minute to make it happen, and that same minute of delay can blow a platinum opportunity.

DID YOU KNOW THAT
When several people are involved in the performance of the same mitzvah at the same time it is better to have one recite the blessing for all because the greater the crowd the greater the glory to the King, However, when several people put on a taleet in the synagogue it is customary for each to recite his own blessing. The reason that we do so is that people are not proficient in fulfilling the obligation of a blessing for another and the one being covered by another's blessing is not proficient in keeping his mind on the recitation by the other. The exceptions - like kiddush - are done because people are used to them being said by one individual anf they pay proper attention in order to fulfill their obligation.
