A recent NASDAQ article titled, "What the Job Market Can Learn from the Coronavirus Crisis," has recognized and honored Verb. As we all know, we're currently experiencing an unprecedented global event that has impacted almost every aspect of our economy.

From stock prices dropping and lockdowns, to mass layoffs and empty store shelves, we can be reasonably sure that the majority of the world has been severely affected by COVID-19. The above article offers a glimpse into what could be the future of the global job market as a whole, focusing on remote work, corporate responsibility toward gig workers, and leadership.

 

In the article, Verb is highlighted as a company that provides the necessary infrastructure for remote work and “can help workers close sales as effectively as they would if they were doing in-person meetings with their clients.” As you’re well aware, one of the most unsettling things about the current world situation is its newness. The current level of globalization in our society means that a novel virus was able to spread faster than we’ve experienced in the past, and a worldwide lack of effective protocols have wreaked havoc on nearly every industry in a shorter time than we’d ever thought possible. However, the same technology that led to this level of globalization can work in your favor, providing you with the means to connect with people all over the world without leaving your living room.

 

If you’re struggling with how to adapt your business strategy to one that aligns with a socially distanced approach, our platform can help. Take a look at five of our favorite "isolation friendly" tools, all of which can be used to connect with your clients and prospects from a distance effectively.
