Is it really necessary to take your potential client out for lunch for them to buy your stuff?, If no one else did it, does it really add value to your product? Would these people stop buying what you have to offer whether from you or some other provider if there were no executive lunches or business dinners?

Are executives lounging in a luxury hotel really essential to business? Or jollies for that matter.

I think that things like repairs and technical visits are still a long way from being able to be carried out remotely, but the other items seem to be things that are non-essential.

Not essential, but enjoyable for many people. And they’ll push their agenda.
