So, if sales start to go up after the return to office mandate, that would say that management is right, being in the office is more productive to the business. This would mean that remote people are less productive at home than in the office. If sales don't go up, that could mean that it doesn't matter whether you're remote or in the office, not much changes and it's probably the brand that is responsible for the decline.

Sales needs to go to the office?? What's the need or inside sales than....
They've already changed things at the start of August. Why would you now pester sales people with stuff like this. You need sales to concentrate on selling. This is just a way to get rid of people. Good people or bad people, they need to downsize. The BS of coming back to the sales floor is bogus. Let me see the studies that substantiate this change in policy. If it is so cut and dry, show it to us.
Nah, even the boot kickers are feeling punched in the mouth after this one. Morale couldn’t be any lower. Sudden domination of unrealistic quotas is absolutely not going to be the outcome here.
One other thought considering I work with customers. The one thing customers hate is change in their account team. Over the past 4 years it is constant change in account teams. You lose momentum and relationship's.
SCP changes havent helped the situation either.
Dell hasn't hit their sales metrics for years because they don't have a feasible storage array for mid-market that qualifies those customers and their client hardware isn't competitive price wise. Lenovo and HP snatched up market share because they moved boxes while Dell was trying to figure out how to sell an overpriced lipsticked pig called APEX to customers who were fleeing to AWS to host their environments. Lack of innovation and got caught with their pants down
Now we have to cut overhead to bring those margins back at the expense of good people.
