1. Re-frame your mindset.
Being away from the team for quite sometime, missing some customer interactions and not having your desired results may have caused you to think that you are failing in the business.
What went wrong?
You must understand that what you are experiencing right now is not unique to you. It is happening to everyone and is felt in many different industries. It is part of the impact of the pandemic, the political landscape, and even the environmental crisis.
The hyper-inflation and many other uncertainties are changing our customer's buying behavior. But it does not mean that nobody is buying goods and services this time.
When customers are troubled, they spend less.
To survive and thrive, marketers must learn to re-frame their own mindset. Don't join the group of people worried and afraid to participate in the economic activities.
Instead, participate and engage in the marketplace. Continue to serve your customers. Encourage the untap markets to consider your products.
2. Assemble your team.
Don't be alone. If you want to go fast, be with your team. Re-train for the new normal.
Discuss about new tools and approaches to attract new customers.
3. Attend community events.
What's happening around you? Be part of the community events, it's how you can meet new people or reconnect to old customers.
Someone is maybe organizing a Yoga event, a book club meeting or the coffeeshop hopping?
People are now frustrated of staying at home. They wan to meet new people, you should be there.
4. Organize your own party.If you can't find a good party, create one. Invite friends to your birthday party, your business anniversary or invite them for a post-pandemic celebration. It's the best time to reconnect.
5. Catch up with previous customers.
Congratulations! We've made it to exiting the pandemic. Maybe you'd like to organize a dinner event with your existing customers?
Visit them to check on them. Start reopening line of communication.
6. Reconnect to old prospects.
Your old prospects have new stories now. Reconnect with them, ask about how can you help them this time?
Try inviting them again for your product presentation.
7. Share some posters.
Someone somewhere is looking for your products. Distribute your product brochures.
Be excited to be found.
Use your creativity to create posters about your products.
