Also, companies are realizing that maybe they don't need to spend thousands of dollars for last minute business trips if they can just do a zoom meeting instead.
- nilkn 7y agoPersonally I don’t think this is true. The entire sales team where I work is itching to be able to travel to potential customers again. They’re not at all satisfied with Zoom as a replacement.
- mlthoughts2018 7y agoAdministrators above them though are beginning to see their desire to travel isn’t actual justified in greater business value, so their mere preference or their assertion is less likely to be believed.
- nilkn 7y agoTravel for current or prospective customers has some of the best ROI of nearly any expense at the company, and this is well understood. To the contrary, everyone up the chain including the CEO is even more eager to resume sales travel.
- mlthoughts2018 7y agoThis is precisely the falsehood the present time is dispelling.
- TheCoelacanth 7y agoI think most salespeople have significantly decreased sales right now. There are obviously other factors contributing to that other than the lack of travel, but this is not proving that sales will be fine without travel.
- 317070 7y agoBut now zoom-sales is competing with zoom-sales, no-one is traveling. I doubt zoom-sales can compete with travel-sales.
