We discuss what steps sales managers can take to keep their sales team engaged during this slow period and ready to execute when life returns to the "new normal".

Robb speaks about some of the tactics he is seeing MSP's use during this crisis.  He notes that is is a great time to both show empathy and gather business intelligence from your clients and it is helping build a stronger relationship.

We discuss how many MSP's are not taking steps to accelerate sales when the crisis is over and too many are choosing sales people as the resources to cut to reduce payroll. This also will create a buyers market for many MSP's post-crisis.

Robb discusses some interesting approach models to drive stalled projects and make their employees happy.
