At first maybe it is. Personally I never did that approach.

But I think that, just the same with everyone, when you hit limitations you should make changes in order to help you push through and progress. I don't think the target approach is the way to go, you should spend more time in the conversation instead of thinking about making the next approach.

Try going out without being focused on hitting targets and just spend time in the conversation, see if you make any improvements.
