What, what advice do you have for someone having to do that in a rehearsal room as an actor?

Well, the, the biggest thing for me was reading the entire script, uh, seeing what everything was going on.

Not memorizing per se, but kinda knowing your spots when you're coming up so you're ready to jump in.

And what I found helpful, uh, which it's, it would be much easier, thank goodness we're not doing it over a phone, but seeing people's reaction.

If you're talking to somebody, kinda looking at them on the screen and making that connection so, uh, you can play off each other quickly, and seeing their facial reactions really helps.

Uh, that's the great thing about live theater that I love to do, is, uh, what can happen in the moment on stage.

But you can, you, you get a touch of that on, uh, Zoom also, especially if we're like, we're not laughing, we're, we're- ... treat this like we're recording it.

[laughs] Have some fun with a short scene whenever you're ready.

For listeners who might not know the difference, what does an Area Sales Manager actually do and how does that differ from National Accounts?

Absolutely.

So I think an Area Sales Manager role will vary dependent on the manufacturer, especially within garage doors because we do have sort of different customer bases.

Looking at a Garridor Area Sales Manager or ASM, We all look after our own geographical area.

So the majority of areas are the same.

So for most manufacturers, for example, I was covering the Southwest.

I was going up as high as sort of Birmingham and Wolverhampton down to Penzance, over to Bournemouth, over to Swindon.

All things considered then, what does a normal week now look like compared to before?
