The pandemic is over, at least for now. Assuming the Delta variant doesn\u2019t increase infections and cause the mask and social distancing back up, I still think that the pandemic will cause some changes in the business that will be permanent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1) Less in-person meetings. Zoom works, it saves on travel time and time. Expect more and more client meetings and enrollment meetings to be permanent Zoom\/Microsoft Teams\/Google Meet meetings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2) Less travel to national conferences. Less might be more, in terms of saving travel time and expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3) More work from home. Unlike in the 1990s, people can effectively work from home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4) Cut back in space. Many plan providers will shrink their office footprint if they allow more people to work from home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
