TODAY, 10 THINGS TO PONDER
written by PAPPA Business Services Member Harriet Gatter, owner of Accounting Support
Today, every individual is experiencing their own unique set of challenges.
Please be patient and respectful.
Today, as a business owner, you might think about your business through
three different lenses:
What it was before Covid19?
What it is now?
What it might be after Covid19?
Today, technology is becoming even more important as everyone is doing
even more online.
Today, if you now have more time, what are you doing with it?
Today might be a good time to reach out to your clients. Offer your empathy and
support and let them lead the conversation.
Today, many marketing budgets are being reexamined.
Today, social media is even more crazy-hectic-mad than before.
Today, rather than selling, think more in terms of what service can you provide.
Today, are you aware of the stress you and others are experiencing?
Today, your car would appreciate your driving it a little bit each week. Keep your battery alive.
Stay safe and healthy!
