Like the title says, shits rough lately. 2/3 of my sales team got the rona, along with some support staff and it's hard to do certain things logistically with people sick.

I had a call with a Canadian company who basically said his Q1 is caput because of govt restrictions. Before I said anything the product, fit or needs, I said "I'm so sorry to hear that, what does this mean currently for your event plans and is there anything I can do to help? " he proceeded to say that due to restrictions, he'll have nothing on the books for months and his suppliers have backed out. Fortunately, some losses are subsidized by the govt as well.

He did say he's going to have a great 2023 though in typical French Canadian banter. Overall, he's a good guy and the industry is going through a hard time, but he did say that after he submitted an rfp, he liked what he saw and would like to move forward restrictions permitting based on his time line.

All this is to say is that covid is still fucking shit up in certain people's lives and industries and putting yourself in your prospects shoes may not get you an immediate sale, but you'll likely be viewed far more positively than your competitors.

P.s, I hope this doesn't read like a LinkedIn shit post, it's just a thought based off the current circumstances we're in.
