Those Who Did Something
The stay at home orders have been in effect in many areas now for more than four weeks. Many of us have adjusted well but some are struggling.
Your normal day of visiting clients at their place of business are probably non-existent. One point of encouragement that I would like to offer for those who work in outside sales is this; reach out daily to your accounts, their staff via phone calls, texting and email. If they are willing, offer online or video conference training to help them maintain their knowledge. It doesn’t have to be about selling something but make it personal- asking about family, how they are getting through the challenges, what are they looking forward to once this is over. I’ve known some outside reps who are having lunch delivered to offices that still have a small group working or video chatting just to see a face.
Yes, business has changed and it is a challenging time. Those who are proactive now and not hiding, will be the ones who emerge more quickly and stronger than those who did nothing.
Stay healthy and full of joy!
