Is This the End of the Single Meeting Business Trip?

Sanofi CEO Paul Hudson underscored this possibility recently in an article primarily about his pharmaceutical company's race to find a Covid-19 antidote. But speaking at a webinar that discussed the impacts of coronavirus, Rosemary Maloney, global travel manager at software company Sprinklr, brought up Hudson's comment — and she agreed with it.
"The article said this was the end of the one-client trip, which I think is really true. We're going to be doing a lot of sales trips that will combine clients more, they'll be more active," she said during Goldspring Consulting's Travel Buyers Talk Task Force & Return To Travel event.
