I think phones still work?

Ha. I guess. I’d think it would be much more difficult then meeting in person. How many times have you bought from someone selling something over the phone?

There's a whole spectrum of cold-warm-hot sales and the lead time on them can be quite extensive. Unless a firm really effed up its sales pipeline before this or prospects have shut the door on everything, there should be plenty in the pipeline for partners to work remotely on.

We’ve done plenty of Zoom-based pitches. Everyone understands the reality of the times right now. It’s not like you’re an outlier by refusing to travel for sales calls.

Brings the question - what’s the difference between what BD execs do relative to Partners?

I’ll put it to you this way, a CEO of a company does not want to have a conversation with a BD person, they want to speak to someone at their level. CEO to CEO (Partner). It’s how deals get done. When you have a big project, you send in a partner sometimes multiple, to build relationships. BD people help connect the dots.
