I'll start. With COVID we shut down all on site demos and onsite sales meetings. I had this one particular prospect who was always on my "what a dick" list. So every year I reached out to him more as a joke and to be an asshole since I knew he was overpaying and my solution would be a much better fit for him, but he was using "the Cadillac" in our industry and liked to remind me of that each year. Flash forward and now a worldwide pandemic is going on and I email him a "Hows that overpriced piece of shit working for you? Maybe this is the year?" type of email and he actually responses saying he wanted to learn more! BUT - he would only entertain the thought of switching if I came onsite and met with them...... in a pandemic. Typically the answer is to start at least with an online meeting but this particular prospect is located just outside of Las Vegas - so I happily agreed! Haha. (P.S. totally nailed it and got the deal and had a great night at the same time!)
