Advices to network from home or with less contact

Small business requires new clients and customers, and for that you need to network. Without networking, you will not meet new people and get new opportunities. So, how to network best during a pandemic?

1.      Use digital business card

If you have some prospects that you met before the lockdown or that you met through social media, follow up. Send them an email reminding them about the conversation or the meet. Attach your smart business card along with it so that they know more about you and the company. A digital business card provides you with more space. So, you can include more details. But make sure you do not add unnecessary things. Attend online events

A lot of businesses are conducting open seminars. If you wish to be part of that business or work with them, join their seminars. It gives you a chance to communicate with them directly and layout your cards.

2.      Social media

LinkedIn is an important social media for connecting with other professionals. Update your business profile amdd connect with individuals with mutual benefits.

3.      Discussion forums

Join online discussion forums in your niche. It gives you a chance to meet like-minded people and network well.

Simple strategies for turning the business around during pandemic

Save money

No business can survive without a good cash flow, and the pandemic has led to its depletion. Therefore, to make your business thrive, work on improving it by saving money.

• Cancel or reduce spending of money on tools or equipment that are not much use for your business. If you have a software that you do not use even a bit, cancel its subscription.

• Save money on loyalty points and card by taking a rebate

• Use a credit card for the business, but only if you are confident that you can pay the credit bills on time.

• Collect debt from all your clients who have overdue bills. That is imperative for a smooth cash-flow.

Work on your staff

Your employees are your backbone, and I do not recommend firing or laying them off. But you can cut back on their salary for a while and promise a full-return when the business starts making a profit.

Do not hire new people. Instead, outsource or hire freelancers.

Run offers

• You need new customers to increase your profit. So:

• Offer discounts or loyalty points to attract new customers

• Use social media to highlight your business and its value.

• Down sell your products or increase its prices as per the condition of the market.

Try these tips, but do not change the core values of your business. People will love a brand who sticks by their values, but tries new ways to get ahead.
