Adjust Your Approach

The pandemic has upended many of the ways we do business. As a small business owner or freelancer, showing potential customers and clients what you’re doing to keep up with the times can go a long way.

  • Are your usual offerings put on hold? Try live streaming to reach new clients.

Branch Out Online

In the age of social distancing, connecting online is everyone’s go-to. These tips can help you land clients virtually.

  • Strive to offer awesome customer service so you can connect on a personal level with your new leads.

Adapt Your Office

Even if you’re able to provide services online and adapt your business approach, it helps to make sure your office is ready for clients. These tips can help transform your office.

  • If you’re still accepting clients, make sure your lobby or reception area is safe.
  • If it’s not possible to maintain a distance of six feet, wearing a mask is a good idea.

Get Financial Help

Despite your best efforts, it might still be a challenge to expand your client base during the pandemic. These resources can help you keep things running until it’s easier to make connections.

Navigating the COVID-19 pandemic is hard as a contractor or small business owner. By adjusting your approach and looking for new ways to find clients, you can keep your business going strong until the threat of the pandemic has passed.
