3 days to a week for some. Beyond a week you're just not giving the worker a chance to get on with it. It's like a boss calling the worker back into the office every 5 minutes to give the worker the same instructions. You got to give the worker 3 days to produce some results. notice what you get and build from there. After 3 days be preapared to modify or extend your directives toward your goal.

I'm saying it's not necessary to listen everyday. Do you carry a hammer everyday. Pounding at everything in sight? No the hammer lies in the tool box until you're ready to build or modify something. Then you use the hammer only as much as necessary to get the job done. Over the next few days you'll be checking how the job held up if it needs more work or a different tool.
Intend for the best results. Have a purpose for listening. Create a measurable point of reference. You sell one a day it might be okay but better would be 3 a day. So the next wweek you might have one more in the whole week. It's an improvement. Grow from there. Those are your measureing points how you're doing in your job. So you listen with the intention of selling 8 next week. Listen once at the beginning of the week maybe once mid week and watch your targets and trust tht you'll see results.
