Would Mike be able to give some advice on sales & marketing during this time when we are not actually selling a product but a service? Working in staffing where we would typically make a lot of in-person sales calls, drop-ins, and lunch invites. Now we are kind of stuck in our offices?


  • Touchpoints you used to do in person – figure out how to do it virtually
  • In-person meetings can be done through zoom or video conference
  • Have companies record short videos of an office tour, work stations to show candidates
  • Send materials or something catchy to potential clients

  • Offer discount for a longer term contract
