For those who took clients out for meetings pre-covid-

Do you feel like people are more likely to accept a meeting now because of the ease of Zoom from home, or less likely because there are no free food, coffee or drinks involved? Or a third reason, comment below!

More likely to Zoom. I think business travel will not return to pre-pandemic levels. Interested to hear what the group thinks.

I also don't think business travel will resume to pre pandemic levels. This follows 10 years of significant change to how sales meetings are held. It went from in person to gotomeeting to Google Meet/zoom/teams. Business travel will be much more scrutinized going forward. The expense alone puts companies at a disadvantage to more nimble orgs. Having said that, there is no replacement for good old fashioned in person relationship building.

What do you all think in respect to local business meetings (not flying to meet a prospect but just locally networking and catching lunch or a drink)

Have always built success on the back of this, feel it will come back. Already seeing lot’s of bars and restaurants back to capacity. Humans will always need some level of interaction, and this is not too costly or time consuming.

I think it will return at some level but not the same. Pros and cons, the AEs at my org are happy and sad. The fact of the matter is you can’t build a relationship the same way as you can talking over nine or a good steak dinner.

It will come back. Once your competitor starts, your manager will tell you to be out there too

Some have expressed interest in starting a meeting for this bowl, so I made a meeting ID on zoom. Before I schedule anything I wanted to pitch it to the group for thoughts on time and day and process

I also wanted to see if we could maybe use the group to create the meeting format. We have plenty of great writers in here, maybe some would like to take a stab at the script?

At the end of the day I want to help facilitate not dictate, so would y’all’s thoughts!!

I’m seeing lots of posts about really bad losses. If you trade you’re going to lose money - hopefully not all the time, but many positions will be mistakes.

Two books you should read are “The New Trading for a Livinng” and “The Laws of Trading.” Both look at psychology, process, and risk in different ways that can help you work out your own process. The next 18 months will be much harder than the last 18 - time to start learning.

One of the hardest things to do in business and in sales is to have someone love what you do so much that they'll put their name on the line and refer you business.

That's a relationship you have to nurture.
