Good news: Just because you can’t see customers in person – and you may be physically distanced from them – doesn’t mean you can’t build a relationship with them. Who you are will shine through, whether it’s a face-to-face interaction or over the phone. Customers are still making purchases, so it’s up to you to adjust your sales motion to the new normal of physical distancing.
