Curious to get your take: Company does b2b training. Had a client cancel some workshops, has a 28k “credit” but doesn’t seem to want to apply that credit to anything else. Sales team has reached out with several options for a few months and client is unresponsive. Contract (made before I joined) doesn’t have clauses that specifically address this issue. 🙄 Pro-client MSA expires in 2023 and has “time of the essence” language. What mechanisms we can utilize to impose an expiration on credits?

Not my area at all, so this is an “outsider’s perspective.”

In the current economic climate, any action that may be taken as “accelerating spend” is not going to go over well. Instead of trying to force, try to find a benefit for that client to choose to accelerate. If you cannot find one, that do not pursue it.

I'd leave it be. If the agmt is pro-client and the MSA has years, let it lie. Perhaps they dont want remote training right now but once they figure out RTO they'll know more about how they can engage you.

Agree with the leave it alone crowd. If the purchase was for training credits and not for anything specific, then you stand ready to provide training until the MSA clock expires. When you’re a few months away, a letter could be sent about the expiring credit due to the expiration date of the MSA.

Hello,
I’m a junior data scientist and in my current job I mostly code using Pyspark (no machine learning) so I would like to work on a side project that could leverage my profile and data science/ML skills.

I’m overwhelmed by the many suggestions online and would prefer to get a suggestion directly from professionals.
