What is happening right now are companies are contingency planning.
Not just, what if people need to work from home, but what if, 10%, 20%, 40% of their workforce are out sick.
Can they continue to work on new projects?
Can they support their customers?
Will their customers even need more support now?
At any given time, a very small percentage of the workforce is out sick
Imagine the impact if it's a large percentage? Even 10% is large.
On one hand people will have more time because they won't be traveling as much
But on the other hand, staff will need to be very productive if they are in the office or having to work from home if some of their fellow employees are out for weeks.
My guess is, direct sales companies will need to quickly shift to less belly to belly and more online & technology. If they don't, I think their sales will really drop off even more. I picture VERB's phone ringing off the hook. The capital nfusz will help add more employees to keep up with demand among other things...
Here's to hoping if people need to stay at home, it's to stay safer and not because they are very sick.
