The move to remote working and trading since March 2020 has presented many challenges to workers, and demands new ‘virtual’ skills and approaches. Research on sales in the new virtual environment shows that ‘buyers’ believe that many of the biggest mistakes made by sellers are in how they conduct virtual meetings.
