This was published in April 2020, but I'm guessing it wasn't written in the last month:

> Spend as much time in person with your prospects as possible. That means demos, as well as conferences, dinners, coffee, whatever you can. This will allow you to build trust, and learn a lot faster about your customer than doing calls or even video calls. Working out of one of their offices side by side is a great way to hear how they talk, what they care about, etc.



Or it was written assuming that people may read it in the future when this whole situation we are in (I hope) has blown over.

Also, Phil (original author), if you're reading these comments, hi!


Hey man!

Ya it was written to be more evergreen content...hoping that the world reverts to normal at some point.
