Current messaging from leadership is that you don’t have to go anywhere you don’t feel comfortable.

Historically have done 100+ nights in hotels but I don’t think I’ll need to travel to client or office again unless I want to for at least a year

I'm a marketer and I'm having a hard time getting my clients to listen to me.

I have been in marketing for 10 years now. I've worked with hundreds of clients and have been able to increase their sales by over $1 million each year.

But every time I go into a meeting with a new client, they ignore everything I say. They just want to talk about their product. They don't seem interested in learning how to market it better.
