Perhaps the most anticipated grand opening of all times is occurring at various levels across our land right now — and it is joyous to see. But to say things are not quite returning to normal yet would be a great understatement. Most businesses are still adapting to the environment. Many are operating without key segments that were profitable just a few months ago or inventing new offerings in response to the changes we’ve all experienced.

A few months back, I had a heart-to-heart with an editor on my team. "Your work is great," I told him, "but we have to prioritize volume.". I can’t blame this person for being a perfectionist. If anything, it’s an important quality in an editor. But as we approached capacity, I had to be clear: Not every piece of content we create can be a masterpiece.

The whole social distancing thing hasn’t been great for salespeople or their clients. But the distancing started long before the global pandemic of 2020. It started when we began to expect that the tools would somehow replace face-to-face human interactions. The more important the outcome, the less transactional you should be in sales.

Customers who reach out to service teams have specific emotional needs—and a study that we recently conducted online with 5,500 global consumers confirmed that customers expect service employees to display a specific emotion in response to their issues.

One of the biggest challenges of selling to Kroger is also the biggest opportunity: there are nearly 3,000 Kroger store locations in the U.S, and many of them are among the busiest stores in the country. Offering in-store support for your brand from coast to coast, or even in just a few key geographies, is essential, and sending your sales reps to do routine audits and merchandising can give your brand a big advantage — but supporting so many stores is expensive.
