As the second wave of COVID-19 began in the fall, I remembered the article we referenced in the spring. Read it again and compare how you perceived the situation in the spring with how you perceive it now. For me, the text that refers to Nassim Taleb is still valid.
We are still unable to prepare for the unknown. And after a relatively quiet holiday, here we have restrictions again that will further limit the limping economy by closing schools, kindergartens, institutions and businesses. I don't mean to say that this is downright bad. It just shows that we (with our government at the helm) are surprised again by the development latvia telemarketing list of the situation. Regardless of all the forecasts that have been made since spring.
What to do when a global pandemic is raging outside?
Of course, there are experts who may object with the form of "I told you so...", but I would like to remind them that even the much-preferred testing does not yet bring any reduction in the infection in the fall. It is still too slow to have the power to stop the spread, and for now it only increases the costs and debt of the state, which we will all have to pay in the end. For me, this only leads to one thing. Together with Taleb, I say: Let's plan, let's make forecasts. But let's not be surprised if reality does not behave according to them.
How this crisis is changing the business thinking of (some) companies
The crisis motivates companies to try new things. That is why in recent months we have registered a significantly increased number of requests for telemarketing and Lead Generation (see our marketing dictionary ). This only confirms our previous belief that in times of crisis, PR budgets are cut and other more realistic ways are sought to get new contracts.
