If the first few months of 2020 have taught us anything, it’s that uncertain times can call for quick pivots to sales and marketing plans. Businesses have had to evolve quickly with trade shows, events, and in-person sales meetings being canceled for the foreseeable future, likely throwing a wrench in many 2020 sales and marketing strategies.
