# [Tech Channel Video Cast: End-of-year Crunch Time](https://www.partner-path.com/blog/tech-channel-video-cast-end-of-year-crunch-time)

 Written by [Amanda Hawkins](https://www.partner-path.com/blog/author/amanda-hawkins) | December 16, 2016 at 5:20 PM

This week, hosts [Charlene O'Hanlon](https://www.linkedin.com/in/charleneohanlon), channel industry editor & writer, and [Diane Krakora](https://www.partner-path.com/about/team/diane/), CEO of PartnerPath, have end-of-year crunch time on their minds. Why do we (vendors, partners, customers) all push ourselves to get so much done in the final weeks of the year? At a time when we have family and holidays and 'regular' work to do, we've trained customers to not buy until the last minute. Is it possible to change these habits? Take a listen then share your thoughts.
