My clients are community banks and consumer finance companies, primarily in SC, but also GA and NC. An average day for me prior to Covid was to have 2-3 meetings set per day, then pop in 2-3 more as time allowed during the day. My business is built on service and face to face interaction.
Since last March, I probably haven’t had 75 in person meetings, total. I feel like some clients are wondering where I’ve been, and some aren’t really open to visitors. I definitely don’t show up without an appointment now, and some aren’t open to appointments at all. It’s frustrating because when you visit with someone face to face, you identify problems before they’re problems, and uncover opportunities through conversation.
Even the ones that are more carefree would change their tune when I brought Covid from Bank A and infected Bank B.
I do think things are getting better, as one group is having their first in-person conference next week.
Them that don't know him won't like him, and them that do sometimes won't know how to take him
He ain't wrong, he's just different, and his pride won't let him do things to make you think he's right
They don't put Championship rings on smooth hands
